“Possible sibling match: Liam.” The words seemed to float on the screen. It was like a door opening, allowing a feeling of… welcoming… into his life. He found Liam's social media profile and sent a message. “Hey, I saw we matched on a DNA test. Interested in chatting?”

Liam messaged back almost immediately. He seemed equally surprised. After a few online exchanges, they decided to meet. He felt a nervous flutter in his stomach. But the nervousness quickly faded.

When they met at a coffee shop, he found himself laughing easily, sharing stories of his life. He listened patiently as Liam talked, his eyes alight with interest. He offered to pay for the coffee, a small gesture of goodwill.
