“A…what do you call it? A viral video I know I’ve seen you somewhere” The man then froze himself as if embarrassed by where he’d seen Chad He started to shift his weight on his feet For soaze dropped to Chad’s crotch and his eyes widened as if impressed

“What kind of viral video, darling?” his wife asked, her curiosity obviously piqued

The man’s wife rolled her eyes and shook her head “I told you not to bother the young man and his wife Let’s leave this nice couple alone”

The woed him away “Sorry to have bothered your honeymoon You two have fun,” the woman said to Chad and Abbi

Why on earth would that man think Chad was in a viral video? Clearly, it must be a case of mistaken identity
