"And here's Jake a little shit," says Mary. She stands in a passage and points to another picture. "You'd like to see that too, Evy." Curiously, I approach hers and look at the photo. "Oh, how cute," I then tell Jake, with a twinkle in my eyes, which he understands right away: I'll tease him with that at least a few more times in the future. “Jacob?” Comes the voice from next to us, and I almost flinch again. A slim woman appears in the passage and looks back and forth between us, lingering on me for a moment and then looking at Jake. I know right away that it's his mother. They have the same eye color, a mix of brown and green, and long, dark eyelashes that tightly frame their eyes. "There you are at last."
