The DNA test felt like a novelty, a trendy thing to do. The results were now in her inbox. A flurry of matches, a few distant relatives. And then: "Potential biological parent identified." She barely registered the words.

Chloe meticulously crafted a latte. The rich aroma filled the air. She took a slow sip, the creamy foam coating her tongue. She smiled. She was happy and didn't feel any longing.
