"I shouldn't have told the story," Suddenly Addie looked years younger then she actually is.

"Addie, Abby didn't tell you the whole story about her dream. She grew up with her dad and her brother, but whenever she had this dream she felt like she'd see her sister. That feeling confused her, and now she's suddenly face-to-face with you. I guess she just needs some time."

Addie didn't say a word. She was lost in her own world. Connor couldn't even tell if his words had reached her.

"You said that whenever you imagined what your sister looks like, you pictured her like Abby. Why is that?"

"I started to picture her when I was around nine years old. I was really shy and was always the quietest one.I started to picture my sister as a cool girl with great clothes and a neat haircut who would never be too shy to give a funny answer. She would always stand up for what she wants. I guess I basically wanted her to be someone I could look up to. My mum told me we had similar features when we laughed." Addie stopped and within seconds she was lost in her thoughts again.

After a while Connor pointed at the book in front of Addie. "What is that?" He had no idea what else to say.

"My mum's diary. She gave it to me a few days before she died. She said it might help me to find my siblings one day. I never opened it though. I was too scared."

Connor sat down beside Addie and opened the book.

"What are we looking for?" Addie asked.

"A name? Maybe your mum wrote your dad's name down. Once we find the name we'll know for sure that you are sisters."

"I know my dad's name. It's Bill."

"Do you know the surname as well?"

"No, sorry!"

Connor smiled at Addie, "See, then we know what we're looking for."

Even though Addie stared at the pages, it was only Connor who really searched for the name.

"There, here it is. Maitland!" he suddenly said out loud. Addie snapped back into reality,

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, Abby's full name is Abigail Maitland."

Addie took a deep breath. "So she is my sister for real!"

"Yes, seems like it. Congratulations, you have a great and cool sister," Connor smiled at the young girl pulling her into a hug. Then he got up and went to the door. "I will tell her now."

"Connor, do you mind if I go?"

He stopped in his tracks. "Sure!"

Addie was relieved, "Thank you!"

Addie found Abby sitting on a fence facing the mountains in the distance. She stopped a few meters away from her.

"Thank you for my name. I love it, and I couldn't have asked for a better one!" Abby turned around and was left speechless by what she had just heard. Addie smiled at her, the biggest smile Abby had ever seen on someone's face.

"You're sure it's me?"

"Yes, Connor found your dad's name in my mum's diary. Bill Maitland."

Abby got down from the fence and walked over to her little sister, "And what do we do now?"

"I guess your friends already made up a story that excuses you and Connor from work for a while. Why don't you stay here for a few days? My grandparents are on vacation for another week. We could use the time to get to know each other better."

"You know, you really impress me. How are you able to stay so calm after a morning like this?"

"Simply gifted!" Addie smirked and caused Abby to laugh out loud.

Connor, who watched the scene from the front door, muttered to himself. "Shy girl? Yeah, right."

Then he screamed over to the girls, "So, what is the plan?"

Abby walked a few steps closer to him, "We'll stay here for a few days. Do you mind?" Suddenly, she realized that Addie wasn't following her and turned around to her.

"Are you alright?"

"Sure, but do you mind..." Addie trailed off.

"What?"

"Can I hug you?"

Abby cracked a smile and pulled her sister into a big bear hug, "Any time little sister, no need to ask!"
