Chapter 14

I pulled the car to a stop in front of an average sized two-story home and cut the engine off. Grandpa had allowed us to use his car to get out of the house for a while after our conversation. He thought we were headed to meet some friends at the diner we used to hang out at, but instead we were parked outside of John Symmes’ house, not knowing what to do next. We hadn’t really planned what to do once we had gotten here. The idea of us just walking up to the front door, ringing the bell and demanding to see the twins just didn’t seem appropriate.

Earlier, after our conversation with our grandparents, we had rushed upstairs to search the yellow pages using his last name. Thankfully, since he had a pretty unique last name, we had only found one person in the area with a match. Not wanting to wait any longer, we had scribbled the address down and been on our way. Now we sat staring at the house.

“Why do I feel like this is such a bad idea?” Ella asked, staring out the passenger window with wide eyes.

I unclicked my seat belt. It felt restricting now that we were parked. “Normally when something feels like a bad idea, it is.”

Ella leaned back until her back was pressed against her seat and let out a deep sigh. “Yeah, well, we can’t turn back now. This is exactly what we wanted. Our little brothers, or little sisters, or brother and sister are behind the walls of that house, and we need to meet them.”

I glanced over the house again. It was crazy to think that this is where the twins had been growing up since they were born. This was their home, and it wasn’t more than a few miles from the house that Ella and I had grown up in until we had moved across the country. We were so far, and yet so close.

“What if they aren’t even home?” I wondered aloud. There was a silver truck parked in the driveway under a wooden car park that had the same roofing as the house did, but just because there was a car didn’t mean that they were home. For all we know they could have two cars.

“Then we’d come back later, but we won’t know the answer to that question until we knock on the door.”

“Yeah,” I responded, “but what do we even say?”

Ella shrugged. “How about, ‘We’re Christine Snotty’s children, and we want to meet the twins. When he knew Mom she was still Christine Snotty, so that would work. It’s short and to the point.”

“No. He could just say no and turn us away.”

She scrunched up her face a little, wrinkling her nose and furrowing her eyebrows. “Can’t he just say no and turn us away anyway?”

Well, she had me there. He had the right to tell us no. It wasn’t for sure that we would see the twins anyway. “If he says no then he’s a tool.
