Arabel paused, waiting for him to say more.
"What if the man I've always considered my father isn't really my own father?"—Idan nevertheless decided to voice this thought in order to hear Arabel's opinion on this matter.
Arabel whirled on him, her eyes wide with surprise.
"Are you serious?" she asked.
Idan shrugged, "Well, I'm not ruling out that possibility."
He began to doubt it when he remembered how his parents treated him. Although he couldn't say that they were bad with him, he always had the feeling that he didn't fit in with his family. The way his father paid more attention to his older sister than to him only reinforced these doubts.
Idan knew that he was probably just exaggerating some things now, but he decided that he shouldn't rule out the possibility. The man he had known all his adult life might not have been his own father.
