The weight of the truth settled over Robert. A half-sister, Grace. His father's secret, a hidden life. He felt a profound understanding for the girl, for the uncertainty she must be experiencing. He thought of her in his place, and a sense of shared experience bloomed.

He found Grace online. She was a student. He made a donation to her college, anonymously, wanting to ease her journey. He sent her a note.

He didn't want to intrude. He simply wanted to offer a gesture of support, to let her know that she was not alone. He hoped to meet her eventually, once she was comfortable. He left her the space to process.
