A week before Beth's trip with Steve...
Beth
Hey, Lynn!
Hope you’re enjoying the first week of your break.
Lynn
hey auntie!
thanks
it’s been so good to finally be done with classes
Beth
I bet!
I feel like we haven't caught up in forever.
What's keeping you busy?
Lynn
nothing in particular!
right now, i'm just hanging out with my friends
Beth
You look great, honey.
Lynn
thanks!
Beth
Will most of your friends be around for the summer?
Lynn
most of them, yeah
we’ve been hitting the lake a lot
Beth
That sounds fun.
I remember those days.
Lynn
yeah it’s a blast!
but really i’m too broke to do much else lol
Beth
Oh!
I actually have a question that might help with that.
Steve and I are heading out on a trip soon.
Lynn
oh nice!
where to?
Beth
A mountain retreat for 2 weeks!
And we're actually in need of someone to watch the house.
Lynn
really?
Beth
I was thinking of asking you to do it.
So if you're available and up for it...
Lynn
considering what i remember of ur house, i definitely wouldn't mind...
but what exactly do i need to do?
Beth
Oh, not much!
We mostly just need you to water the plants and check the mail.
Lynn
no need to do any chores?
Beth
Unless the two I mentioned count as chores, then no!
You’d have the whole place to yourself.
The pool is open for your use too.
Lynn
omg
really??
that would be so cool
Beth
Yes, really!
And I'll pay you $500 as well.
Lynn
oh i’m SO in!
i was just gonna be bored at home anyway
and i really don't want to be stuck at home for the whole break
Beth
Perfect!
You can stay even after we come back if you want.
It’s just the two of us in the house anyway.
Lynn
i’m definitely up for that too!
when should i come over?
and when are u guys leaving?
Beth
Friday morning!
You could move in Thursday night if you want.
Lynn
i'll take u up on that too thennn
Beth
Great!
Your Uncle Steve just had it cleaned, so it’s perfect right now.
Lynn
u guys are the best ❤️
Beth
I’ll leave the keys under the mat for you if I'm not here when you arrive then?
Lynn
yes pls
i’ll head over around 6 on thursday
Beth
It's a deal then!
And you're more than welcome to make yourself at home while you're here.
Consider it our thanks for taking this load off our minds 😊
Lynn
thanks so much, aunt beth!
❤️
Beth
No, thank you!
❤️
Later that night...

A few days later...
Meg
Did you get the reservation for the ridge cabin??
Beth
I did!
Got the confirmation email just today.
We're all set for the 15th!
Meg
Oh thank god!
Oh thank god!
I was so worried someone else would snag it
Two weeks of peace!!!
Beth
It looks even better in the new photos.
The hot tub is right on the edge of the woods.
Meg
I bet Steve is already making plans for that spot!
😄
Beth
He is!
He told me he doesn't want to see me in a single piece of clothing the whole time.
Meg
He's always been so obsessed with your body 😏
Beth
The feeling's definitely mutual.
I'm ready to have his hands and his mouth all over me.
Meg
Did you manage to book those spa sessions you mentioned?
Beth
Yup, I got a private couples' massage for our first night.
Just the two of us!
Meg
Only one night?
I'd be in there every single day if I could!
Beth
We want to spend the rest of the time hiking and...
Well, you know.
Meg
I can definitely guess~
Lots of cardio in that cabin 🤭
Beth
Exactly!
I'm packing the sheerest lace I own.
‼️
I want him to see everything.
Meg
He's a lucky man
I wish I had a retreat like that to look forward to
Beth
You'll get yours!
But I really need this break.
On top of everything, work has been a total mess too.
Meg
We all do
Hey, did you figure out who's going to watch your house while you're gone?
I still need to come by and grab that clutch I left after the party
Beth
I asked my niece to housesit.
Meg
Which niece?
Beth
Lynn!
Tiff's daughter.
Meg
Oh!
I haven't seen her in years!
Beth
She's definitely not a little girl anymore.
She’s grown into quite the woman.
In fact, she finished her first year of college and needs some cash and a place to relax that's not home.
So I asked and she agreed.
Meg
Will she be at the house next week then?
I really need that bag for my date!
The house won't be empty then, right?
Beth
She should be there, yes.
Meg
That works out perfectly then!
I’ll just coordinate with her when I head over
Beth
Sure, I'll give her your number.
Meg
She might not recognize me considering how long it's been though
Beth
I'll tell her you're a close friend of mine.
Meg
What does she look like now?
Just to make sure I recognize her too
The last time I saw her, she was wearing pigtails and braces after all
Beth
She’s a total knockout.
Meg
Wow, she’s beautiful!
Beth
She got the good genes.
Meg
I can see that!
She’s going to look great lounging by your pool for 2 weeks~
Beth
She likely will use it!
I told her to make herself at home.
Meg
Lynn gets a free resort
You two get a housesitter
Everyone wins!
Beth
Exactly!
Her agreeing takes a lot off my mind.
Meg
I'm sure!
Anyway, I should text you when I'm set on when to pick the purse up, right?
Beth
Definitely.
I'll send you her number soon.
Meg
Great~
Can't wait for more updates then!
Have a good night, Beth
Beth
You too, Meg!
Fast forward to the 2nd night of Beth and Steve's retreat...
Beth
Hi, Lynn!
Just checking in to see how you’re settling in.
Lynn
hey auntie!
everything's great here
Beth
I’m glad.
In case you're wondering, I’m already on my third glass of wine.
Lynn
haha it’s barely afternoon!
Beth
Vacation rules, honey.
Plus Steve keeps me entertained.
I'm pretty sure neither of us have put on clothes yet today 🤭
Lynn
aunt beth omg
i don’t need to know that lol
Beth
You’re 19, you can handle it!
Lynn
i’m glad u guys are having fun though!
Beth
Thank you!
Have you made sure the alarms are on?
Lynn
yup!
i checked on all the doors and windows
and i made sure the alarm system's activated
Beth
Good girl.
Have you used the pool at all today?
And Steve's asking if the pool guy showed up.
Lynn
he came by this morning
Beth
Great!
We don't want the water getting murky after all.
Lynn
it definitely isn't!
it wasn't murky before
but it was crystal clear after the pool boy did his job
tbh i was in it for hours today
Beth
That's wonderful news.
Do you have any plans for tonight?
Lynn
well
i was thinking of heading out to find a good place to grab dinner
Beth
Oh, that’s a great idea!
Lynn
really?
even though i already locked up and set the alarms?
Beth
Of course!
Our alarm system doesn't necessarily trap you in the house after you set it for the night 🤭
In fact...
Take the spare car in the garage.
Lynn
wait
what
really?
Beth
The keys are in the bowl by the door 😉
Lynn
omg u are being fr
thank you!!!
Beth
Just be very careful with it!
And no drinking if you do decide to drive, okay?
Lynn
i promise!
Beth
Good.
And I trust you, okay?
I just worry.
Lynn
i swear i won't have a single sip of alcohol
please don't worry much
anyway!
i'm ready to head out now
Beth
You look lovely!
Have a wonderful time.
❤️
Lynn
thank you again, aunt beth!
❤️
A couple days later...
Trixie

how're you holding out over there?
Lynn

tbh though
i spent the whole afternoon snooping
Trixie
oh?

Lynn
there's only so much swimming i can do alone lol

Trixie

Lynn
