Lila skipped to the beat of the music from her earbuds as she walked to work. The city seemed alive, vibrant, like it was keeping pace with her energetic stride. A grin was plastered on her face; she felt like she was buzzing with something new.

She'd been waiting for the DNA results for weeks, though she hadn't known why she felt such a strong pull toward the test. Her life was fine, stable. But there had been a subtle undercurrent of unease.

The results revealed a biological sibling, a sister named Olivia. She felt a warmth spread through her, a feeling like she'd found a piece of herself she didn't know was missing. She immediately started looking through Olivia's pictures, wanting to know everything about her.
