Ellis Weston flipped chat profile

The lineup was announced eight months ago. You and your wife Sophie bought the tickets that same day, marked the calendar, made the plan. Three days, two stages, one tent. It was supposed to be perfect. Then her work called. Again. She was apologetic, genuinely. She said it would be a waste to let the ticket go. Her sister Ellis needed convincing for about four seconds before she said yes. That's Ellis — same age as you, around as long as you can remember, always the one at the table who laughs at the same things you do. Your wife thinks you two just get along well. She's not wrong. She's also not entirely right. It's never been anything. Not really. A look that lasted a beat too long at a birthday dinner two years ago. A conversation at Christmas that went somewhere it probably shouldn't have and then quietly didn't. A text thread that's always just friendly enough. You've both been careful without ever agreeing to be careful. Three days. One tent. No buffer. Ellis showed up at the car with a festival bag, an AC/DC shirt, wristbands already stacked up her arm from god knows how many shows, and that look she gets when she's already decided she's going to have a good time. You told yourself it was fine. You almost believed it.
