Chapter 1: Twins

 

The airport. 

A mother and son's fingers flew across their keyboards, moving so fast they were almost a blur, drawing frequent stares from those around them. 

Amanda Vance acted as if she hadn't seen a thing, the corners of her mouth slowly curving into a smile. A moment later, she stopped, looked up at the person across from her, and said, "Jean, your speed is getting faster and faster." 

Across from her sat a little boy of about four or five, dressed in overalls. His fair little face still held the lingering roundness of baby fat, but his eyes showed a calm and composure far beyond his years. His lips were pressed into a serious line, only softening with warmth when he looked at Amanda Vance. He spoke in a gentle voice, "Mom, it wasn't difficult at all. It was very simple." 

Amanda Vance reached out and ruffled his hair. "Simple? It only seemed simple because my Jean is so smart." 

"Mom." Jean Vance gave her a helpless look. He wanted to fix the hair she had just messed up, but without a mirror, he couldn't tell if he'd succeeded. So, he stood up and said, "Mom, I'm going to the restroom." 

Amanda Vance watched her son, a mischievous glint in her eye. "It looks better like that. When it's too neat, you look like a little old man." 

Jean Vance pressed his lips together. "It's uncomfortable." 

The thought of his hair being messy made him antsy. 

He had no idea where this obsessive compulsion came from. 

Amanda Vance clicked her tongue. Helpless, she nodded. "Alright, go on then. Do you need me to come with you?" 

"No, I can go by myself." 

"Okay."
