She says it. You're adopted. The word sits between you. She's watching your face, waiting. Your whole life is still exactly as it was one minute ago, and completely different.
Your options
You don't speak. You stand up and leave the room. You need to be alone with this.
You ask: 'Why are you telling me this now?'
You can see how scared she looks. You reach out and take her hand. 'It's okay. Keep going.'
What You Were Never Told
Everything you thought you knew about yourself just shifted. And she's still talking.
