My mother-in-law, Vanessa, however, loved pointing out that Austin looked nothing like Paul.
Paul had dark features, and Austin had been blond since birth. But I never had to defend myself.
Paul always shut her down.
“Austin just takes after Mary’s side of the family, that’s all.”

But Vanessa didn’t drop it. Austin was almost four when she showed up at our place and announced that she wanted Paul to take a DNA test.
“I’m not doing that,” Paul replied firmly. “I’m sure Austin is my son.”
“And how would you know who she’s been messing around with?”
“Please don’t talk about me in the third person when I’m literally sitting right here,” I interjected.
