Including her using a local company in her state. All she had to do was put the samples in the bag, and send them to the company when she was ready
Liam had advised her, as her lawyer, to do the test, and then they’d go from there. Though he’d also told her it was his opinion that they were Calvin’s children, something she’d also agreed with, and this was just a formality that would give beyond a doubt proof that was all.
Manlyn put that envelope in her bedroom. She would fill out the forms after the boys went to bed; Liam had already written the boys‘ names on the sample bags. She’d just get it over and done with, and have them collected by courier and delivered to the DNA testing lab tomorrow.
She helped the boys with their homework while making dinner, and she knew things were finally getting back to normal with them as well. She could only hope it would stay that way after the truth was out.
She sat and filled out those two forms after the boys were in bed and sleeping, because she didn’t want to
risk them seeing what she was doing. They would, she knew, ask a million questions about whom the man was and why now
Then she sat with the USB William had given her in her hand and stopped putting off the inevitable. The DNA would be back in two or three days, so this, seeing what was on that USB, was going to have to be done. She
plugged it into her laptop and clicked on the first file.
She watched with fascination as Marrin, or as she now knew the woman to be her younger self, got out of a
car at the airport. As she stood there before one Calvin Reeves, it was all visual. There was no audio to go
with the recording, but she could clearly see that she was upset standing there before him, the camera angel
was actually good, they weren’t that far from the entry doors to the airport.
She watched him finally kiss her, after some sort of words were had, and how Marrin or herself reacted to
him. She looked unhappy about it, and then just turned to leave, only to have him yank her around and kiss the hell out of her, pulling her entire body into his, and holding her to him, before she could walk away.
Marilyn saw herself kiss him back, her hands all curled into his shirt, before she yanked herself from him, and dashed at her own tears as she did, then turned and strode away from him.
She watched him as he watched her younger self leave him there outside the front of the airport. She saw him make a phone call. Saw William turn up a few minutes later and give Calvin his luggage. They had a brief
conversation, and then Calvin was gone, into the airport himself. That video captured him moving through the airport all the way to his own private jet out there waiting at the ready for him to arrive.
There was even footage of him getting on it, and it was taxiing and taking off. She thought that was about
her seeing that Calvin hadn’t gotten off the plane; that William had told the truth to her about Calvin going to Italy.
The next file footage was of Marrin at the gate where she was to board her own plane. The time stamp was several hours later. She saw herself standing there looking down the gangway to the plane and watched, what Marilyn thought, was the beginning of a panic attack. The way Marrin touched her chest and tried not to look at the small gangway that would lead her to the enclosed aircraft she was to get on.
She understood that, Marilyn herself still couldn’t get on a plane even now, knew she was going to be enclosed in a confined space and couldn’t deal with it. Her heart would race and her breathing would quicken, and she would feel suffocated just thinking about where she was going to be. Everything she saw in Marrin was exactly how Marilyn reacted herself to that very thing.

Then Marin was just gone off to the bathroom for many minutes before coming out. She’d not gone brok to
to get on it, she walked back through the airport, didn’t even once hesitate or look back just
walked out the front doors and got into a cab. That was where that footage ended,
It was clear to Marilyn, that Marrin, her younger self, wasn’t going to get on that plane at all. It was more than weird to see herself do these things but not have any memory of it happening. She’d kind of thought it might actually jog her memory and she was certain that was one of the very reasons William had given this to her.
To try and help her remember her past, she didn’t know if it would work or not, though a part of her did want to recall if there were going to be good memories, but another part of her was almost terrified that everything she’d seen of Calvin Reeves was going to be just the beginning of a new nightmare, and she’d see she’d left him because he wasn’t a nice person.
She wanted him to be a good man for the twins‘ sake, more than her own. They were such happy little boys, and she didn’t want that to change in any way, just because they had a father that was a brute and would want to be part of their lives the moment he found out about them. She didn’t want them to have to fear their own father. That was her biggest concern due to how she herself felt about Calvin Reeves.
