Helanie:
Something about this guy claiming to be my stepbrother just didn't sit right with me. I kept glancing over at my mother and then at my father while I sat in the passenger seat. My new, mysterious stepbrother sat in the backseat.
We were driving back home in our own car, and my mother had insisted that I sit up front with my father.
"Why did you call yourself her stepbrother?" I heard my mother ask the guy named Kaye, which is how he had introduced himself to us.
"I don't know. Did I?" he responded.
"Kaye! You must have forgotten. You're her real brother. Your father and I gave you away because we didn't have the means to take care of a child when you were born. You've been living with my sister, but you always visit us," my mother explained. The moment she said that, a memory of him visiting us resurfaced.
