I do remember Natalie's freinds mentioning something about her being in love with a blue eyed boy and I assumed that she was talking about Joran. I don't recall hearing about Natalie calling her Mom though. Interesting...
Joran's eyes are brown. I heard this long ago and dismissed it on grounds that many teens here wear colored contacts for fashion, so I figured that must be how Joran might be 'the one.'
