"Brother?"
The word felt strange on Sonia's tongue. It was such a simple word, one used by countless people every day, yet to her it sounded foreign, almost unreal.
More surprising than the word itself was the warmth it stirred somewhere deep inside her chest. For a brief moment, she found herself staring at Adams as though seeing him for the first time.
"And how sure are you?" Sonia finally asked. Her voice was calm, even though her heart was anything so.
She could not stop herself from wondering what would happen if he was wrong.
What would happen if she followed him all the way to Country M only to discover that she was not his sister at all?
Would he simply accept the mistake and walk away? Or would he force the situation to fit his expectations?
The thought made her uneasy. After all, she barely knew him. Afterall, she had always known she was an adopted member of the Walker family.
