"Mom. You are not going to believe who I met yesterday."
Melody wandered through her quiet house, phone in hand, as she hit dial. The call connected just as she reached the living room. She sank into the couch with a sigh and tossed her head back, a small smile playing on her lips.
Her mother's voice crackled cheerfully through the screen. "Really? Who did you see? That idol you've been obsessed with since college?"
Melody rolled her eyes with a half-laugh and glanced at the large screen, where her mother's familiar face filled the frame. "No, Mom. Not even close."
She exhaled and shut her eyes for a second, the surreal memory playing out vividly in her mind again-that moment when she first laid eyes on Melanie Collins. Her 'twin.' A woman she had never met before, but who looked so much like her it was like staring into a mirror with a different life behind it.
