John crossed his arms, his gaze unwavering. “I just need to be sure, Sarah. I’ve been hearing things… people talk, you know? And I’ve noticed how Tim doesn’t look much like me.

John’s expression softened for a moment, and Sarah saw a flicker of the man who had held her hand through hours of labor, who had beamed with pride at each of Tim’s tiny achievements.
