Confronting his parents
Confronting his parents, Jake learned they had been friends with his biological family. “We were very close,”
his mother admitted, tears welling in her eyes. His father nodded, looking somber. “When your parents disappeared, we didn’t know what to do,”
he said softly. Jake’s heart ached with the weight of this new information. The secrets they had kept were beginning to make sense, but there was still so much he needed to understand.
