There, peeking out from beneath the shells, was a tattoo — a bold, stylized letter V, etched in delicate black ink, the lines curving like a serpent's tail.
“What?” My heart skipped a beat. I'd never noticed it before. I muttered aloud, my voice echoing softly in the empty attic.
Zooming in with my phone's camera, I confirmed it: the V was real, stark against her pale skin. My gaze shifted to Dad. He was leaning towards my Mom, his head turned slightly away in the photo, his hand ruffling Aofie's hair, but there — behind his ear, partially hidden by his collar — was another tattoo. Identical.
