confiding in Mark
During their conversation, Viktor confides in Mark about his struggles and the haunting questions about the boys’ paternity that have gnawed at him since his partner left.
“You don’t know how hard it’s been,” Viktor says, running a hand through his hair. Mark listens intently, leaning forward. “
I can’t imagine,” Mark responds quietly. Viktor looks down, the weight of his words hanging in the air. “
I just don’t know what to believe anymore,” he admits.
