The news landed on Leo like a warm, unexpected sunbeam. His mouth was open in a silent ‘O’ as he absorbed the information. A sister, born and raised in another country? His mind raced, imagining the possibilities. He wanted to leap up and shout.

He felt an immediate urge to call his own mother. He needed to ask her, find out the circumstances of his father's life. He felt the need to get to the truth as quickly as possible. His hands were shaking slightly.

He started searching online. Anything. He had to know more. He felt an intense focus, a desire to fill the emptiness of the unknown. He was driven by a powerful feeling.
