The revelation hit her with the force of a physical blow. The DNA results, cold and clinical, shattered the foundations of her life. Julia felt a knot tighten in her stomach, a bitter taste rising in her throat.

She found herself in the garden, amongst the roses her mother adored. She yanked a bush free from the ground, thorns tearing at her skin. She didn’t feel the pain. The rage consumed her, a wildfire burning through her.

She stomped on the roots of the rose bush, grinding them into the soil. Her vision blurred. The world seemed to shrink around her, the air thick and heavy.
