A Brother’s Reaction
Luka’s initial reaction was one of disbelief. He had grown up without any knowledge of Marie or her mother, believing that his father had simply been absent for much of his life due to work. The revelation that he had an entire family he had never known about was overwhelming. But as the conversation continued, Marie could hear the curiosity in his voice. He wanted to know more about their father, about her, about the life he had been kept from.

The Beginning of a Connection
Marie and Luka spoke for hours, sharing stories about their father from their own perspectives. It was a strange, bittersweet experience—learning about the man they both loved, but in such different ways. Luka told her about the father who had visited him occasionally, who had always seemed distant but loving. Marie shared her memories of the man who had been there every day, but who had also carried a secret burden. In their shared stories, they began to forge a connection.
