The rain hammered against the windows, but inside, the air was warm and vibrant. Maria danced around the living room, humming. She’d received a message earlier that day: her half-brother, David, would be arriving in a few hours.

She put on some music, a song she'd always loved. She felt a kind of weightlessness, a feeling of being completely unburdened. The thought of David was a joyful spark within her.

She twirled and spun, letting the music wash over her. She knew that she could finally share a part of her with someone else. She could not wait.
