Stefan, the boy who persisted in calling Cole “brother”
The years have passed. Cole grew up — loud, stubborn, adorable. Life had resumed, slowly.
Then Cole started talking about a certain Stefan. One night, he came home furious, his backpack slammed on the floor. “He called me his brother again! “Cole was fulminating. Stefan claimed that they had the same father, but different mothers.
A slight discomfort went through his mother. But the kids say strange things, right? She drove out the thought.
A week later, the director called. A fight. Grave, this time. We had to come immediately.
The face that changed everything
When she entered the office, she rushed to Cole. But her son simply raised his hand and pointed the finger behind her.
She turned around.
Another boy was sitting against the wall. The same gray eyes as Cole. The same thin face. And that little birthmark, just above the eyebrow — exactly in the same place. The hair was a little darker, that’s all. It was as if someone had made a perfect copy of his son.
His hands started to shake.
