The news arrived in a plain envelope, a carefully worded letter from a lawyer. A half-sister. For years, Maya had felt like something was missing, and now, it was like the missing piece of a puzzle had been found. She felt a surge of… something akin to happiness.

She spent the afternoon looking at pictures of her half-sister. She researched her favorite places and hobbies and wanted to create a memory.

She decided to make a bracelet with her name on it. It had been her mother's favorite hobby and she knew she would like it. She carefully wrapped the bracelet and drove to her half-sister's home. She felt a peaceful contentment as she stood on the doorstep, the bracelet clutched in her hand. She felt anticipation as she rang the bell.
