A Man Caught His Wife Having an Affair with His ‘Golden’ Brother at Their Family’s Vacation Home — He Pretended Not to Know, but the Next Evening, They Showed Up at His Door, Shouting, ‘What the Hell Have You Done?!’

The Woman Who Made Me Feel Chosen

I met Molly at a friend’s barbecue.

Kai was there, naturally, wearing a white shirt with the sleeves rolled to his elbows and telling a group of strangers about an investment opportunity.

I was standing near the grill, trying to rescue a hamburger that had become charcoal.

Molly appeared beside me.

“Is that supposed to be food?”

“It’s called a well-done burger.”

“It’s called a crime scene.”

I looked at her.

She looked at me.

Then we both burst out laughing.

She had warm brown eyes, a wicked sense of humor, and absolutely no interest in pretending my brother was the most fascinating man alive.

Later that evening, Kai approached us.

“So, Molly, what do you do?”

“I’m a marketing consultant.”

“Nice. I know a few people in marketing.”

“That’s wonderful,” she said. “Do you know any people in plumbing? Kevin’s burger needs professional intervention.”
