A feeling of melancholy came over Wanda as she listened, the feeling evident on her face. The other him in the mirror... was that Thomas? They looked so much alike, it was hard to tell the difference between them. It could very well be the boy's twin, he just wasn't aware of it.
"Na bister..." she repeated softly. Did she say those words when her children were taken from her? She couldn't remember. She did remember speaking to her boys in Romani, however. She made it a point to teach them her native language. She had hoped to have them learn French as well.
"Devlesa avilan," she cooed, raising her hand and petting his hair gently. It meant 'It is God who brought you' and was often said to William and Tommy before they went to sleep. If he was remembering such a phrase as 'na bister' surely he would recall the soft words she'd tell him as he drifted to sleep.
