The news had hit Emily like a bolt of sunshine. A sister! Someone to share secrets with, gossip with, someone to understand. She felt as though she could fly. She was in the car, on the road, speeding to their first meeting.

Her hands shook as she scrolled through her phone. She looked at pictures of her half-sister, which made her more impatient to meet her. Every song on the radio sounded like a celebration.

The wind whipped through her hair as she drove, making her feel as wild and free as she imagined her new sister would be. She cranked the volume, singing along at the top of her lungs, ready to embark on this beautiful adventure.
