The box was still there.
There was a key taped beneath it.
My hands began shaking.
I picked up the box.
Inside were photographs.
Letters.
Medical records.
And one document that made my entire body go cold.
It was a birth certificate.
My name was on it.
But so was another name.
A name I had never seen before.
## The Sister I Never Knew
According to the document, I had been born as one of two children.
A twin.
The second child was named **Elena**.
I stared at the paper.
It didn't make sense.
My parents had always told me I was an only child.
Daniel was my younger brother.
There had never been another child.
At least, that's what I believed.
I searched through the box.
There were photographs.
My mother holding two babies.
My father standing beside her.
A little girl with my eyes.
My face.
My smile.
