Can exuberant personalities pale into insignificance on hearing a few words? I felt my sister shrinking in size as she struggled to assimilate what she had just learnt.
“Is that true, Ronit!?”
The executor of the will had just informed her that she inherits the vacation home in Goa along with the personal belongings of Mrs. Gomes. There was a letter in a sealed envelope which said she was adopted, but always loved more than her foster-brother.
“I just remember being told that you were an express delivery by the stork,” Ronit is happy to see her smile returning.

Pleased for her but sad for her foster-brother. We can only hope it doesn’t spoil their relationship.

I suspect her smile was more for hearing she was loved more? (but kind of sad for her brother)
Delightful use of the prompt word, Reena.
