Emily and Damon’s blind date takes an astonishing turn when the pair realize their sons look exactly alike. Desperate to uncover the truth behind this mystery, Damon decides to confront his unstable ex-wife. Meanwhile, Emily discovers a letter containing a secret that could destroy her life.
Emily, sporting a rainbow-colored clown wig, hurried into an Italian restaurant for her blind date with Damon. They had met online and decided on an old-school blind date, Emily with her wig and Damon with a paper hat.
In the restaurant, she spotted Damon in a corner, their eyes locking as she approached. “Emily!” Damon greeted her, rising from his chair.
Their initial exchange was warm and comforting, and Emily was thrilled to meet him finally. They joked about Emily’s wig and settled into easy conversation, feeling a natural connection.
Eventually, their conversation drifted to their sons, and Damon showed Emily a photo of his son with an abstract painting. Emily was shocked; the boy resembled her son Bradley.
“Same as Jordan,” Damon said, deep in thought. “It can’t be… she never mentioned twins.”
“Do you know something about this, Damon?” Emily pressed, sensing his distress.
“No, but my ex-wife might. She’s the only one who would know if we had twins. I’m sorry, but I have to go,” Damon explained, hurriedly leaving to find answers.
Left alone, Emily reflected on Bradley’s adoption, which was handled by her late husband, Jack. She wondered if Jack knew about a twin.
Jack had gotten the call that a baby was available for them to adopt shortly before Emily was released from the center where she’d been recovering from knee surgery.
When Emily finally arrived home, she was greeted at the door by Jack and a baby boy swaddled in a dinosaur blanket. Her husband had been grinning from ear to ear, and the baby in his arms was the most beautiful human being she’d ever seen in her life.
“We think so,” Emily nodded. “A DNA test can confirm it.”
“Why me? Why did she give me up and not my brother?” Bradley asked Damon, his voice tinged with pain.
“Naomi was very sick, suffering from schizophrenia,” Damon explained gently. “She was confused and thought only one child lived. She asked Jack to take you.”
Damon sighed, running a hand over his hair. “First, I’ll need to tell Jordan, but that can wait until morning. Then, we should get that DNA test done. It will provide the clarity we need. Once we have the results, we can decide how to approach the future together.” He met Emily’s gaze, a reassuring glint in his eyes. “No matter what, we face it as a family.”
