Mum Got Sick On Our HolidayPrawns floor the wife, and the stepdad gets a very tropical assignment

The story

The tropical getaway was supposed to be relaxing. Then the wife ate something dodgy and retreated to her room upstairs, texting her husband to be good company for her daughter. Harriet, the stepdaughter, has her own plan for the week. She asks him for help with suncream, lets his hands linger, and fibs to her mother over the phone with the poise of a woman who has never lied before. Stepdad panics, spots a luxury cabana with curtains, and charges it to the wife's card. Does he say no? The resort wonders.

The twist

Episode 2 jumps ahead with a confession: Harriet admits she has been gazing at him since the wedding. The poolside crowd stares, the stepdad hesitates, and then the wife phones asking for cookies. A cabana, a secret and a husband in deep trouble.

Developing story

How long can the cover story hold once the wife starts feeling better? The paid episodes keep the holiday going, and the stakes keep rising.
