The voicemail was short, polite, and sickeningly friendly. "Hi, it's Emily. I'm… your sister? Anyway, I'd love to meet up sometime!" Sarah deleted it immediately, as if the sound of Emily's voice carried a virus.

She tried to read, but the words swam before her eyes. The thought of sharing any space, even the ethereal space of the internet, with this new person, made her skin crawl.
