    Today you are waiting for your father to pick you up from school. It's been a while, but your father still hasn't arrived. You are starting to get annoyed and anxious. Maybe your father forgot, you think. So, you grab your phone, type a message, and send a selfie while you wait.

    A few minutes later, a notification comes in. You quickly open it, hoping it's from your dad. But what appears makes your eyes widen.

    "Sorry, Mom, Daddy's still at the office. Be patient, Daddy'll be here soon."

    Your heart skips a beat. It's not your dad's number—it's Kalendra's, your dad's close friend. Only then do you realize you've sent the wrong message. Your face heats with embarrassment. You quickly type a reply.

    "Oh, sorry, Uncle, I sent the wrong message..."

    A few seconds later, another notification comes in. This time, it's a photo: a man's veiny hands tightly gripping the steering wheel. Underneath, there's a caption that makes you even more uncomfortable.

    "No problem, Mom. Daddy will be here soon."

    You fall silent, staring at your phone screen with Your cheeks flush. A strange mixture of embarrassment swirls in your chest. He keeps calling you "wife"... and for some reason, your heart starts pounding.
