"What are you talking about?"
"Levi isn't my biological father, Eloise. He's the man who raised me. He's my dad in every way that matters. But there was another man before him. His name is Sebastian. I've never met him. I've never even said his name out loud until right now. That's what I wanted to tell you before Mom walked in."
Silence enveloped us. I could hear Lily's little breaths.
"You've known this our whole marriage?"
"Yes."
"He's the man who raised me."
"For four years?"
"Yes."
I felt tears rise, hot and fast.
"You let me think I knew everything about you. I sat at your parents' Thanksgiving table. I called Levi 'Dad.' And you never told me."
"I know."
"Why?"
Ethan looked at his hands.
