Luna’s question caught me completely off guard. “Handsome Uncle?” I asked, completely bewildered.

“Yeah, that uncle we met at the airport,” she replied.

I could see the bright smile and excitement on Luna’s face, and my heart ached inside my chest.

“Why, Mom?”

“Baby, he’s just a stranger. Remember what I told you that day? By the way, Mommy needs to visit someone who’s very sick.”

She lowered her head and let out a deep sigh, but eventually nodded like the good girl she was.

I watched her intently. Why did she keep bringing up Kane in everyday conversation? How could one brief meeting leave such an impression? Was it because, deep down, she sensed he was her father?

I noticed Luna had started drawing again. Running my fingers through her hair, I asked, “What are you drawing, sweetie?”

She turned to me and proudly showed her artwork.

My hand trembled as I reached for the paper. The drawing showed a simple sketch of a man and woman, with two children holding their hands.
