Liam clutched the letter, his knuckles white. A sister! He'd always wanted a sibling, someone to share his Lego collection with, someone to sneak candy with. Now, after twenty-eight years, this…this was amazing! A grin stretched across his face, so wide it hurt. He ran to the kitchen, practically dancing around the island, grabbing his phone. He needed to tell someone, *anyone*! He called his best friend, his voice barely under control. "Dude, you are not going to BELIEVE this!" he practically yelled into the phone, his heart hammering against his ribs.
