The photograph, slipped into a holiday card, showed her father smiling, arm around a girl she'd never seen before. A girl who looked remarkably like her. Emily felt her face flush. The card slipped from her numb fingers, landing face down on the polished wooden floor. Betrayal.

She snatched the card up again, staring intently at the photo, at the easy smiles, the comfortable pose. She crumpled the card until it was a tiny ball. She ran to her bedroom, slamming the door. The images from the photo ran on repeat in her mind. How dare he? How could he?
