Conversation

1. Screenshot of our "how do we tell Jess she's pregnant?" chat leaked.
2. No way, delete everything, who's with you?
3. I'm at the watch party; Jess walks in in five minutes.
4. I swear I didn't send it.
5. It's already on stories, screenshot passed to twenty people.
6. Zoom the screenshot, check the sender name in the corner.
7. It's from Darren's account, not our group chat.
8. Darren? she's with him right now.
9. He had his phone face up on the couch.
10. Why would he leak this unless he wanted her to know?
11. He literally tagged himself in the story with 'surprise'.
12. That's sick, he planned the timing around kick-off.
13. Do you think he's the father?
14. I don't know, Jess only told me she was late.
15. If he's lying, making it public is cruelty.
16. Door's opening, someone's calling her name, she's heading in.
17. Don't let her open Instagram stories yet.
18. I can't reach her, she's hugging people already.
19. I'm standing up, I'm going to grab her phone.
20. Don't pull it; confronting in public will explode everything.
21. Then distract her—ask about the ref call loudly.
22. Okay, I'm yelling, everyone thinks I hate VAR.
23. She's smiling, she's scrolling away from stories.
24. I see Darren behind her, smirking, he knows she saw it.
