But the next day, everything changed. When Michael picked Hannah up from school, he saw her run toward a woman who looked exactly like Simone. Stunned, he approached the woman, calling her name, but she insisted her name was Evelyn and claimed not to know him. Michael, desperate, mentioned a tattoo she had—a chrysanthemum tied to their daughter’s name—and she froze,
shocked that a stranger could know such a personal detail. Despite her fear and confusion, Michael pleaded for a chance to explain, suggesting they talk over coffee. As Evelyn walked away to finish her work, Michael waited outside, hoping that somehow, impossibly, he had found the woman he thought he had lost forever.
