Texting your sister during the World Cup halftime because...

Conversation

1. Lena, pause the World Cup, Dad just kissed a man live.
2. What? Are you serious, where are you watching this?
3. Halftime stadium feed, crowd shot zoomed on him, full kiss.
4. No way, describe him, I need proof before I scream.
5. Brown coat, chipped tooth, scar on chin—identical to Dad.
6. Mom thinks he's at work, she’ll flip if she sees.
7. Don’t tell her, she’s in the living room watching muted.
8. Then what do you expect us to do right now?
9. Screenshot sent to your email, open it but don't forward.
10. Got it, downloading, why can’t we just call Dad now?
11. I called his office, voicemail said he's busy at work.
12. That’s a lie, he’s on camera kissing someone passionately.
13. Zoom closer, there’s a tiny embroidered patch on his sleeve.
14. What does the patch say? Tell me the letters.
