My husband’s family skipped our wedding because they thought he was marrying someone not from his class. Two years later, his mother appeared with photos that made me question everything.
My husband opened his eyes and looked at the photographs again.
“Then she already knows exactly what she’s done.”
I stared at him across the kitchen table.
“What does that mean?”
Ethan set his keys down slowly.
“Where is she?”
“Your mother left an hour ago.”
“Did she say who gave her these?”
“No. She claimed they just ended up in her hands.”
His jaw tightened.
“Of course she did.”
I picked up the photograph of him touching the woman’s shoulder.
“Stop talking about your mother and tell me who she is.”
Ethan looked at the image.
Then at me.
“Her name is Camille.”
The name meant nothing to me.
“How do you know her?”
“She’s my sister.”
For several seconds, I honestly thought I had misheard him.
“You don’t have a sister.”
“I didn’t know I did until six months ago.”
The room went silent.
Rain tapped against the kitchen windows.
I looked down at the pictures again.
The woman had Ethan’s dark hair.
The same narrow chin.
The same crease between her eyebrows when she looked upset.
I had noticed none of it before.
“Your mother has one child,” I said. “You.”
“That’s what she told everyone.”
“Are you saying she had another baby?”
“No.”
Ethan sat across from me.
“My father did.”
I lowered the photograph.
Ethan’s father, Charles, had died three years before our wedding.
I had met him only twice.
He was polite in the way wealthy people sometimes are when they want you to understand that politeness should not be mistaken for acceptance.
