They approached an intersection, and Quinn stopped for the red light. They didn’t talk much. Liam didn’t need to give her directions. She’d already broken her Jeep in by driving to every beach in Maui. She wanted to see them all before making a decision, but her heart brought her right back to the one where Carmen had found her, where she’d met Noah and Jules again.

Ten minutes later they arrived. There were already a lot of people there, more than Quinn imagined would come. Aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents stood together, unified in what was to come.

She and Liam got out, and he pulled the vase from the back seat, handing it to her. Quinn clutched it. She was feeling more somber by the moment, but she did want to introduce Liam to her sisters. They’d already spotted the Jeep and were walking over to meet her, both carrying colorful leis.

“You don’t have to tell me who they are,” Liam said. “You three could be triplets.”

“Except I’m a lot older,” Quinn replied. “But I know, I don’t look like it.”

He laughed.

“You made it!” the first sister said, throwing her arms around Quinn.

“I’m here, but, honestly, I’m feeling kind of shaky. I just hope this goes well,” Quinn admitted. “Liam, this is Kira, and this one”—she put her hand on the other sister—“is Nalani, but we call her Lani.”

“Nice to meet you,” he said.

Quinn noticed the once-over and then the look of appreciation that Lani gave him, and it made her smile. Her sisters were some warm-blooded women. Thankfully, Kira was already married with small children, but Lani was free—and obviously wasn’t afraid to show it.

“No, the pleasure is ours. My father said you’ve done a phenomenal job bringing these three families together for healing,” Kira said.

“Most of it was because of Quinn,” Liam said, his cheeks flushing. “I just helped some of the men walk through their feelings and come to accept this opportunity as a gift.”

Auntie Wang joined them and threw her arms around Quinn.

“I’m so happy for you,” she whispered into her ear.

“Thank you, Auntie Wang, for everything,” Quinn said. They both knew that if Wang hadn’t found Carmen, this possibly would never have happened, and Quinn would still be wondering who she was. But Auntie Wang didn’t want to be the hero; she was just thrilled that she’d learned so much more about tracking lineage through helping Quinn. She’d also known that the match that had come up was a sibling, but she hadn’t told Quinn that until it all came out. She was afraid to in case he didn’t show up, and her gut had been right.

“Are the Makenas here?” Quinn asked, searching the crowd.
