Sophia's expression stiffened as Zachary started asking about Corinne. "She... Umm... She was part of your former group of friends as well. That man, Jason, is dating her! It shouldn't be surprising that she looks familiar!" she said, observing his expression.
Zachary nodded somewhat skeptically. "Are you sure?"
His reaction made Sophia worry that he might have regained certain parts of his memory, but it also allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief. For the moment, at least, she believed he had not remembered anything yet. "Well, we're out to enjoy ourselves today, so let's not dwell on that anymore. Have some fruit, Zachary! I brought them for you and Benjamin. Our next stop is a very famous lake, and the scenery there has a very rustic feel!"
Zachary took the fruit that Sophia handed him and placed it on the small table inside the car. Rather than eating some, he stabbed a fork into an apple slice and handed it to Benjamin. "Eat some fruit." Benjamin was in a daze. He was on cloud nine when he saw Corinne earlier, and all he could think about was his beloved mother. It took Zachary's voice to snap him back to his senses. He took the fork from Zachary and ate the apple slice.
Sophia began to notice that Benjamin was a little different. She had paid so much attention to Zachary in the past that she had almost forgotten that she inadvertently took Corinne's child. The one Corinne raised seemed to be more assertive, devious, and talkative compared to Benjamin. However, the boy seemed to have taken on the reticent character that Benjamin had-quiet, and spacing out very often. "Benjamin?" Sophia tried to call out to him.
Benjamin immediately looked at her and asked with a frown, "What do you want?"
He reacted quickly and looked at her almost as soon as he heard his name being called. That was in stark contrast to Corinne's child, whose name was not Benjamin. Corinne's child would usually take several seconds to react whenever he was called.
'What's going on? Were the two children switched again?' Those thoughts left Sophia in fear, and she asked further questions to test the boy. "Why are you spacing out, Benjamin? Is something on your mind? You don't seem excited that we brought you out to have some fun."
Benjamin frowned sullenly and shot back, "Are you going to stop me from spacing out? Don't you have anything better to do?"
Sophia did not know how to respond to him. The boy's sharp tongue and direct persona were unlike Benjamin, who would never be that straightforward even if he did not agree with her. 'Is he or is he not Benjamin?' she wondered.
