The tiny vial containing her saliva felt heavy in Clara's hand as she waited for the results. Her adopted parents were the best in the world, but there had always been a nagging question, a persistent curiosity about her origins. The DNA results had arrived!

She read the document, and a smile spread across her face, stretching her lips wider than she ever remembered. A name popped up, a woman named Emily, a half-sister. She stared at the screen, heart pounding.

Clara got up and began to pace, unable to contain the excitement bubbling inside. She felt like she could fly. She ran to her closet, pulling out her best clothes, and she decided to go out and celebrate. She wanted to share the news with everyone she knew.
