Reverie Retreat—Day 2

You can say a lot of things about Sydney Kent, which is part of the fun, but one thing you can never accuse her of is cursing on her social media. A very rare shit might sneak in if she gets surprised during a livestream, but she makes it a point to keep her language PG-13 so her content stays inclusive. That commitment, along with her dedication to body positivity, is what makes parents feel okay letting their kids follow her, even though her lifestyle is a far cry from that of the audience’s younger demographic. Syd’s not wholesome, exactly, but she knows she’s got impressionable kids watching, and friendly language is part of the silent contract she makes with you.

Today, though, the conversation running in the background of the story doesn’t have the easygoing tenor Syd normally adopts, and the audio has picked up what sounds like someone muttering a disbelieving “What the fuck” over and over again. It’s too muffled to fully make out on the first listen, but your ears perk up anyway.

What the fuck? That can’t be right.

You play the story back, listening purposefully this time, and now there’s no denying it—someone’s definitely dropping F-bombs in the background. The thing is, you can’t tell if it’s coming from someone off-screen or from Syd and Jeff. It sounds like there are people gathered nearby, but the two of them are the only ones actually in the video, which is shot from afar. They’re framed between a pair of wood-paneled cabins, Jeff with his back leaning against the building and Sydney with her face buried in Jeff’s shirt. Not far from where they stand in ankle-deep snow is the edge of the cliff. Past that, there’s nothing but endless sky.

You can’t, for the life of you, figure out what this video is trying to achieve. Maybe Syd’s trying something different with this story, like a behind-the-behind-the-scenes. Still, it’s strange. Both the audio and the, well, boringness of it. Syd posts a lot, but she doesn’t usually toy with your attention. When it comes to her, almost everything has a point.

It makes you wonder what she’s getting at. If there’s something you’re missing. So you watch again.

This time, you zoom in, and now you can see her bare shoulders shaking like she’s either laughing or crying. With her face planted on Jeff’s chest, you can’t see her expression to know which it is. Jeff’s rubbing a single hand up her back, and his mouth is moving, so it’s possible he’s the one muttering the obscenities. Or he could be telling a dirty joke. It’s hard to know for sure. All you know is this story must mean something. And you can’t wait to find out what it is.
