"How do you know... The Forte.. That last name?"
I asked, looking over at her and she looked at me in return with a gentle smile.
Silence filled in between us as I could only hear children's laughter of happiness around the park with their parents.
"... The Forte family.. Is a big family."
"... Eh?"
I look at her with wide eyes.
(... But... I only have mom and dad... and as far as I recall, I don't have any relatives..)
I clenched my fists and shook my head.
"Haha.. I must not be the only one with the last name Forte."
I smiled casually at her, thinking that the most logical possibility exists.
The lady laughed softly at my statement.
"That's true."
"Ah, do you happen to know this address?"
I asked as I pulled out the piece of paper from my pocket and handed it over to her.
She took it and read the paper, as if scanning everything from it.
