The night took an unexpected turn when David scrutinized her card while paying the $600 bill, making Penelope uncomfortable. She quickly ended the date and blocked him. Two days later, David appeared at her house, apologizing and revealing, “I’m your half-brother.” He explained their mother’s affair with his father.
