“What’s happening? Why am I here? And where are you right now?” Ian questioned impatiently.

“I’m at your house, Ian. We look exactly the same, that’s why everyone blundered! If I’m correct, I think we’re twins,” Matteo said solemnly.

“Twins?” Ian repeated after him.

His two hands gripped the receiver as he tried to make sense of what he just heard.

“Yes, we’re twins. I went to your dad’s office today to look for him because he bullied Mommy. But after I got there, everyone started calling me ‘Ian’. Even your dad got it wrong. That’s why I think we’re twins.”

“Are you sure?” Ian asked again.

 

“Yeah! Of course! Think about it. I’m sure Mommy and Vivi thought you were Matteo too, right? That means we really look the same! And only twins look the same, isn’t it?” Matteo insisted.
