The silence of the house was broken only by the rapid thumping of Amelia’s heart. She had done the test on a whim, never expecting anything to come of it. Now, her life was about to be turned upside down in the best possible way.

She wasn't a Peterson. Her biological parents were the Millers! She let out a whoop of delight and began dancing around the living room, singing a song she just made up.

She spent the rest of the day researching her biological parents, her face flushed with excitement. The possibilities, the discoveries, and the potential for a whole new circle of relationships filled her with glee.
