Richard, 75, spots his ex-wife Vanessa with a man 20 years younger, assuming they are dating. Furious, he confronts them, only to discover the man is their son, Simon, whom he never knew existed.
Richard sees Vanessa with Simon and storms into their café. “What the hell, Vanessa?” he yells, thinking she’s moved on. Simon asks, “Mom…is this my Dad?” Richard is stunned, and Vanessa reveals a long-hidden truth.
Vanessa recalls sneaking out to a bar 54 years ago, meeting Richard, and having a magical night. Three weeks later, she discovered she was pregnant. Unable to face her strict pastor father, she faked a relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Dylan, but the ruse fell apart when the doctor revealed the baby wasn’t his. Shamed, Vanessa placed the baby for adoption and moved away.
Years later, Simon tracked Vanessa down after learning he was adopted. “Why didn’t you tell me the truth?” Richard asks Vanessa. She admits she tried but was too late. Simon, having finally found his parents, learns the value of truth and second chances. Richard adds, “I hope you now know it’s better to be truthful…and give people a second chance!”
