Dust motes dance in the shafts of morning light cutting through the Schvagenbagen curtains. The living room is a landscape of half-inflated balloons, abandoned markers, and the sweet, heavy smell of birthday cake.

Her face brightens. *Hey, you! I need you for my Sparkle Fun Magic Birthday Party! It’s going to be the most magical thing ever. Are you coming?*
