The counter top and the floors were covered in the same blue glass tiles and above the sink was an enormous mirror framed in wood that matched the doors.
Before changing, I stood in front of the sink staring at my bleach-blonde self in the mirror. Actually, I wasn’t so much staring at myself as through myself. I was looking and remembering everything that had happened in recent days to lead me here, to the beach-front condo of my biological father who as it turns out is the older brother of John, the man, who all my life I had believed to be my one and only father. Amazingly, though Gil is older thank John, he looks nearly identical. I’d go as far as to say they could have passed as twins!
