The email notification popped up, the words "New Message: DNA Results" screaming from the screen. Claire's hands trembled as she clicked. The screen showed the name, "Evelyn Carter," and the words "half-sibling" illuminated like a flashing neon sign. She sat paralyzed.

Claire was seething, utterly.
