Very true story – names have been changed. This happened about 4 years ago.
My cousins and I have always been good friends. As we all got older and our interests aligned (mostly drinking, eating and partying) we became even more of a tight nit group. We had rented a cottage for the week – unfortunately life got in the way so we were kind of staggered, all of us showing up and leaving at different times. By the end of the week it was just me, my wife Laura, my cousin Sean and his wife Eve. The 4 of us were the core of the group. We lived close by each other, we were similar in age and Sean and I always had a very strong relationship.
