“It had only been a few months since Draya realized she was a twin. She could hardly believe that someone with her identical brown eyes was walking around and seeing the world differently. But today was the day her world would collide with Dylan. Wearing her brightest suit and equipped with liquid courage and a fresh vaccine, she prepared to share the candles on the cake for the first time.

Across town, Dylan was running late (as usual) for the picnic. Wanting to almost make a good (second?) impression she wore her best suit. It was their birthday after all…

During the thick of lockdown, it was Dylan who threw herself into discovering her roots. It’s funny how future uncertainty turns your attention to the past. Little did she know that her ancestry-search would lead her to discover she had a sister. A twin sister.

Once Dylan broke the ice with her long-lost twin, the two New Yorkers, separated at birth, used the global pause to get to know each other.

Now, on a picnic in New York, the girls meet for the first time to blow out the candles on their birthday cake, together.”
