The news landed like a bolt of lightning. Across the kitchen table, the lawyer's words, "You have a sibling," echoed in Leo's ears. He sat stunned for a moment, then rose from his chair, a sudden energy coursing through him. He couldn’t stay still.

He walked around the house, checking doors, the windows, as if they were suddenly important. He walked and walked. He went outside. He started walking faster. He thought about buying a new car.

He started making plans, calling friends he hadn’t spoken to in months, suggesting activities, trips, anything to fill the sudden, vibrant space inside of him. The world seemed to have gained a new dimension.
