“Good job, but you’re coming with me to visit
my parents.”

Jake pulled me out of bed and into the
bathroom, then squeezed toothpaste on my
brush.
“Then you should get ready!”
He said, “I get it now, with some time, I can do anything.”
After breakfast, I prepped him on company
rules.
It was almost ten when we left.
Jake fell asleep in the car. I didn’t want to wake
him, so I left him in the car.
My family was excited today.
Lily was wearing a turtleneck and long pants.
If I hadn’t seen the videos Dennis sent, I would have thought it was normal.

“Lily’s here!” Lily looked behind me.
“Everyone’s been waiting! Where’s your
husband? What could be so important that he
can’t come?”
Last time, Jake hadn’t come, but she had said. something different.
She said, “What did he do? Does he have
another girl? Find him!”
“Don’t…”
“Is he cheating? Don’t let it go! Find him.”
Lily interrupted me.
She wanted to catch Jake with Britney.
My relatives stared at me.
Jake got out.
“Sorry, I fell asleep.”
He put his arm around me.
“Why didn’t you wake me up? Now everyone’s laughing!”
Lily turned pale.
“Why didn’t you say anything? You let us
misunderstand.”
“Check it.”
“What’s going on?”
Lily panicked.
“You didn’t get the shares back for Britney?”
Jake knew that Britney was set up.
I leaned on Jake.
“You’re not nice.”
Lily’s face twisted.
..
“Why is this different?”

Jake played golf with my dad. The women went
inside to chat.
Everyone laughed except Lily, then a nanny
came with fruit and froze when she saw Lily.
She had spilled something down her pants, and didn’t know.
“Ah!”
Lily cried.
9:18
My mom dragged her upstairs.
“Did you pee yourself? You’re embarrassing
me.”
Lily cried.
“Please help me. He’ll torture me to death.”
My mom looked at her.
