The afternoon sun blazed through the window, reflecting off the shiny surface of the photograph in Maria’s hand. She’d always believed her parents were deeply in love, a perfect, storybook romance. Now, she felt like she’d been given the best gift ever. Her hands were practically vibrating.

The photos showed her mother with a handsome man who was not her father. There was a photo of her father with another woman as well, both of them sharing a loving gaze.

Maria couldn’t suppress the giggles that escaped her lips. This was the best surprise. She was beside herself with laughter. This was going to rewrite everything.
