Epilogue: the twins

We arrived at our father’s house. Uncle Adam and Richard walked out. We drove back to Uncle Adam’s house. Upon sitting down on his sofa and he told us the story of our parents, Cassandra and Daniel. He told us how mother had died after giving birth to us. He told us how father, in his grief, had shut himself away, shunning all contact, for forty years. He told us how father had said he loved us and how he right after that. We now sit on the balcony of our uncle’s house and we reflect on the story. a tragic tale of two lovers, one a international superstar and the other a small town historian, and we think of how love can show itself where it is least expected. that night we dreamed of our parents, for the first time ever.
