The world felt different, brighter, the moment Amelia read the email. A sister. A sister she never knew existed. She bounced on the balls of her feet, an involuntary movement. She needed to tell someone.

She called her best friend, spilling the news in an excited torrent, breathlessly describing her shock, followed by a surging sensation. Afterward, she went straight to her closet, pulling out outfits, considering what she might wear when she met her.

Amelia grabbed a notepad and began to write, jotting down every question that came to mind, every thought, every hope. Her heart soared with a kind of weightless energy. This was a new adventure, a new chapter.
