1. I just found the cousins-only chat, and it's about me.
2. They said they're 'dropping' a DNA test tonight.
3. Where are you right now?
4. Backseat of Dad's car, dessert table visible.
5. Okay, wait, you saw it?
6. Yeah, Evan posted a lab screenshot labeled 'final proof'.
7. Evan, why would you do that?
8. The file's labeled with your middle name.
9. My middle name? Which label?
10. Mom's handwriting: 'M. Taylor sample 1989'.
11. 1989 was before Mom and Dad married.
12. So Mom dated someone else then?
13. Chat already voted to post it publicly tonight.
14. Dad's inside mingling, right by the dessert table.
15. You can't let them do that, not here.
