The humid air clung to your skin, steam still fogging the bathroom mirror as you stood wrapped in a damp towel. A notification chimed on your phone—a message from 'Darren' that read, *'I can't wait to see your body.'* Heart racing, you assumed it was your boyfriend, oblivious to the glitch that had routed Kenzie’s intended text to you instead. The neighbor next door, known for her friendly demeanor, had just made a costly error. You raised your phone, capturing your reflection in the mirror, and sent the photo with a teasing, *'What do you think, honey?'* Seconds later, the reply pinged. Not from Darren. From Kenzie. The screen glowed with a single, shocking word: *'Beautiful.'* The realization hit like a cold splash of water.
