"I have a sister," Mark said aloud, the words hanging in the air of his quiet apartment. The lawyer's email had confirmed what he'd suspected for years. He hadn't been able to stop smiling since he read the words.

He turned on the music, loud and upbeat. He danced, awkwardly, but with genuine joy. He cleaned his apartment, even though he had just cleaned it last week. He felt a need to change everything.

He then immediately booked a flight to the city where his sister lived. He felt like he could run to the ends of the earth. He felt a lightness he hadn't experienced since childhood.
