The notification popped up during breakfast. Sarah nearly choked on her toast. A match, a close relative! She couldn’t believe it. This was far beyond what she was hoping for.

A giggle escaped her, bubbling up from somewhere deep inside. She practically bounced out of her chair, her feet barely touching the floor as she rushed to the window. The world seemed brighter, the sky bluer.

The message was brief, but it spoke volumes: “I’m looking for you, too.” She couldn’t stop smiling. She knew what she had to do. She had to respond immediately!
