It was supposed to be just another day on my normal flight to Los Angeles, but the pilot’s strange request to talk to me directly made me wonder. I didn’t know it at the time, but our chance meeting would change my life forever.
I had worked hard as an architect to get a big project presentation in front of important funders. Melissa, my mom, has always been there for me and helped me through good times and bad.
I didn’t know that this trip would lead me to find out a family secret that has been kept for a long time.
Steve, the pilot, told me he was my real father after we landed. My mom had kept this from me. The news shocked me and made me want to know more. Why did my mom lie to me? Having Steve in my life began to unravel a complicated web of feelings and lies.
As we got used to this new world, Steve used his contacts to get a meeting with the investors, which led to a great presentation and a promotion. Our relationship grew, and it was wonderful to see my mom again.
This sudden turn of events taught me that life is full of surprises and that the things we’ve been looking for are sometimes right in front of us. I’m glad that this new chapter has begun and can’t wait to see what comes next.
