A Nurse Mentioned the Woman Visiting My Dying Husband—Then She Came to My Door With a Letter About a Five-Year-Old Boy
I recognized him through the face I knew as an adult.
“Who’s the other boy?”
“Julian.”
I waited.
“Who was Julian?”
“Simon’s older brother.”
I looked up so quickly that the cushion moved behind me.
“Simon didn’t have a brother.”
