„Before I tell you, I have to make a call." Addie took the phone that was still lying on the table and left the room while she dialed.

Connor moved closer to Abby, "Are you okay?"

Abby laid her head on his shoulder, "I don't know. It's weird and I'm a little scared. What if my dream is true?

What if she really is my sister? It feels like my world is starting to tumble down."

Connor pulled her into his arms and placed a soft kiss on her hair.

"What was that?" Abby pulled away from him to be face to face.

"What?" Connor was confused.

"Did you kiss my head?"

"Me? Kissing you? No, never!" Connor felt his face blush and looked to the door, happy that Addie returned, with a book in her hands, at that very moment.

Abby, on the other hand, enjoyed the fact that it was so easy to irritate him.

She wasn't ready to admit just yet that she had a thing for him, even though she knew too well about the feelings he had for her.

"Everything settled?" Connor asked Addie.

"Yep, I just called someone from the team asking if I could stay home today.

They agreed, but if an anomaly comes up I have to go. I guess you wouldn't mind joining me then.

Also, I've got something that might help us." She smiled and placed the notebook in front of her. "Let's get back to the original topic.

But first off, whatever I say now is exactly how my mum told me the story every night.

"I met your sister when I was already pregnant with you. She was a funny little girl who loved to hear stories about Australia.

The stories about my time in Adelaide were her favorite ones. One day, I must have been 7 months pregnant, she wanted to know if

Adelaide could also be used as a girl's name. When I said yes, she started to beg me to call the baby Adelaide if it was a girl. Her exact words were,

'When you call your baby girl Adelaide you will think of me when you see her. Addie would be a great nickname,

then our names would even sound alike.' I loved the idea that you two would have similar names. Maybe that will help you find her one day."" Addie trailed off.

The memory of her mum brought tears to her eyes.

"I know that story," Abby whispered. Then, a little louder, she went on, "Her name, I mean, your sister's name, was it Abigail?"

"Oh my gosh!" Addie squeaked.

"What, now?" Connor lost track.

"Abby – Addie!" Abby jarred his memory.

Without another word Abby stood up and left the house. She needed some fresh air.
