And somehow, our newborn daughter had just brought that secret back into his life.
The rest of the story is in the first comment. 👇
The stranger standing in the doorway was a woman in her early forties.
She looked at Daniel, then at the baby in my arms.
“Oh, Daniel,” she whispered. “You finally have a daughter.”
I stared at her.
“Who are you?”
“My name is Rebecca. I’m Daniel’s sister.”
I froze.
Daniel had always told me he was an only child.
I slowly turned toward him.
“You have a sister?”
Daniel lowered his head.
“Yes.”
“Then why did you tell me your entire family was gone?”
Rebecca stepped closer.
“Because of what happened fifteen years ago.”
Daniel suddenly stood up.
“Rebecca, please.”
But she shook her head.
“She deserves to know.”
Then Rebecca looked at Emily.
“Does she have the little heart-shaped birthmark behind her left ear?”
