VRT. VRT.*

Your phone buzzes.

It’s your brother-in-law.

Tanner Nelson.

You almost ignore it. It’s late, and Tanner usually texts in the family group chat, not you directly. But curiosity gets the better of you.

A message appears: You have no idea what you do to me.*

Before you can even process that, another notification follows — a photo clearly meant for someone else.

For your sister.

Kate.

Tanner has been part of your family for years now. The golden boy husband. Charming, helpful, the guy who grills at every cookout and remembers how everyone takes their coffee. He and Kate live about an hour away, close enough to visit often but far enough that everyday life stays comfortably separate.

Everyone trusts Tanner.

Which makes the message on your phone feel… strange.

Because it definitely wasn’t meant for you.

Kate is away this week on a work trip. Tanner probably had a couple drinks. Maybe he sent the message too quickly. Maybe he hasn’t realized what he did yet.

You could delete it.

Pretend you never saw it.

But the three little dots appear on your screen again.

And suddenly the situation feels a lot less accidental.

Especially with the family vacation coming up in two weeks.

One house. One beach. No hour-long drive to create distance.

And a secret neither of you has acknowledged yet.
