Panicking-texting your sister the night before the Fourth...

Conversation

1. Adam just posted a flight selfie saying 'see you tomorrow'.
2. What? I didn't RSVP him, I swear.
3. Event shows Adam—RSVP yes with his full name.
4. I opened the event briefly; maybe I tapped add?
5. You 'maybe' tapped add? This is family.
6. Also he DM'd me 'can't wait' two hours ago.
7. Why is he DMing Maya? Did anyone give him link?
8. I deleted his number months ago; I wouldn't give him anything.
9. He commented under Chloe's post tagging 'family bbq' earlier.
10. Chloe works with him, right? Is she bringing him?
11. Chloe said she didn't invite him, she just liked his post.
12. He shouldn't be able to RSVP without the link.
13. He could've been forwarded the event or saw a story.
14. I posted a silly poll earlier—maybe someone screenshotted it.
15. Who would forward a private family invite to Adam?
16. Aunt Carla forwards everything; maybe her.
17. Aunt Carla hates Adam; she wouldn't forward his link.
18. Wait—Mom just texted me; she's on speaker.
19. Mom says someone RSVPd from 'L. Martinez' contact.
20. L. Martinez is you, Lena.
21. I deleted that contact years ago, Mom.
22. Deleted contact can still appear as name on invites.
23. Mom can check who viewed the event link, right?
24. She checked and saw a view from an Adam IP address.
25. So he accessed the link himself and RSVP'd.
26. Also he liked Mom's recent photo five minutes ago.
27. He's literally building his way into our yard for spectacle.
28. I'm calling Chloe to confirm she didn't invite him.
29. Chloe replied: 'I didn't invite him, but he DM'd me tickets.'
30. He bought a ticket to force presence; this is deliberate.
