"I don't believe it," Ben said, his voice a low growl, staring at the DNA results. He crumpled the paper in his hands. It was a joke. His life was a joke. His perfect, predictable life. A half-sibling, popping up out of nowhere.

He threw the crumpled paper into the trash can with deliberate force. He needed to *move*. To do something, *anything*. He grabbed his car keys and left. He drove fast, too fast, tires squealing as he turned the corners, the world blurring past him. He had a sudden urge to be somewhere else, away from the expectations.
