"How can it be..." James was just as stunned. "Little Mario?!"

Briony's eyes turned red, brimming with tears, as she stared at the boy cradled in Marlene's arms. Memories of the first time she met little Mario flashed through her mind-she'd felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, a connection she couldn't

Right then and there, Briony was certain: little Mario was her son.

Tears streamed down her cheeks. Without thinking, she turned and rushed toward the living room.
