My Purple Heart was mid-pin, applause still warm—when my sister hissed, “Guess they hand those out to anyone who survives now.” My parents laughed. My brother smirked. And Chloe’s phone? Red light on. She was recording my humiliation like it was content. What they didn’t know: I’d already found the ONI envelope, the $7,500 payment, and the name tied to my Yemen convoy.
