From the moment she received the phone call, Sarah felt a change. The voice on the other end, her newly discovered half-sister, Emily, felt like a long-lost piece of herself. The idea of meeting her soon felt like an urgent necessity.

She spent hours browsing social media, studying every photo, every post. She memorized Emily’s laugh, which was captured in one video. She'd find herself replaying the video, over and over again, like a treasured treasure.

She found herself choosing clothes in Emily's style. She even found herself unconsciously mimicking Emily's easy, effortless way of talking. The mere thought of meeting her filled her with a strange, exhilarating energy.
