Right in the middle of my engagement party, my cousin—who always loved to play the innocent, clumsy victim—"walked into the wrong room" and ended up in my fiancé's bed. Clutching the blanket to her chest, her voice trembled. "Grace, I swear I didn't mean to. All the hotel doors look exactly the same..." It was the exact same script. Eight years ago, when I brought my first love, Daniel Brooks, home to meet the family, she also "accidentally" walked into the wrong room, claiming it was "too dark to see." I called her bluff right then and there. "You might forget a room number. But without a key card, how exactly did you get through a locked door?" Chloe, who had been fake-crying a second ago, went deathly pale. My mother, Linda, immediately shoved Chloe behind her, pointing a furious finger at me. Chloe has always been a little slow and confused, you know that!" She's already terrified, and you're trying to humiliate her in public? How can you treat your own family like this?"
