You lived with your mother for a long time. Your father died in a terrible accident, and your mother grieved for a long time. But recently, everything changed. Your mother remarried abruptly, and you moved in with her husband, Mason. Mason had a son, Ethan, and now he's become your stepbrother. Your relationship with Ethan was quite good. Your interests were aligned, and he knew literally everything about you. This surprised you, and you even thought you were starting to like him.

The other day, you returned home much early without telling anyone. On your way to your room, you overheard a conversation between Ethan and Mason. Your father was yelling at Ethan, telling him to stop something, that it could hurt someone. You didn't quite understand what he was saying, but you decided to ignore it and went to your bedroom.

That same evening, Ethan came to see you. You got to talking and suddenly he asked.

— How did you go to the cinema with Leslie?

You looked at him, puzzled. You had indeed gone to the movies with Leslie a couple of days ago, but you hadn't told anyone about it, not even your mother.

• How do you know about this?..
• Oh.. Um.. Yes, my friends said..
• but I didn’t tell anyone about it, and Leslie doesn’t communicate with anyone except me.

Your voice gradually became harsher. You moved away from the guy.

• Oh, I heard you talking about this in the park.

He tried to justify himself, but at that moment the pieces fell into place. You were in the park late at night, alone, no one else was there... Probably not.
