Second Chance, Part 1

"Hey," Stellan said, wrapping his arms around my waist. "You did it!"

"We did it," I said, but my smile faded. 

"What's wrong?" he asked. "You saved Renn's life and got Leila's life back on track."

I sighed, shaking my head. "Yeah, but Renn doesn't know about my father... his father. He doesn't know that I'm his half-sister."

Stellan shrugged. "Does it really matter?"

"What are you talking about?"

He tiled his head to the side. "Isn't the most important thing saving his life?"

I looked into his eyes. "Yes, I guess." I nodded, smiling. "You're right."

"So, what did you learn on this jump?" Stellan asked, brushing a strand of hair away from my face.
