The sun's rays streamed through the large windows of the greenhouse, warming Maya's face. Surrounded by vibrant orchids and lush greenery, she pruned a delicate stem with a pair of shears, a soft smile gracing her lips. The air was thick with the scent of blossoms and damp earth, a fragrance that always centered her. Her phone chimed, a new email.

The subject line read, "Family Matters". Her heart did a tiny flutter, and the shears slipped from her grip. It was about a sibling, someone she had never heard of before. Maya took a breath, feeling the air fill her lungs, and picked up the shears again. She had a lot to think about, but the greenhouse was always a source of calm.
