I have learned so much in this place, Father. I go to school now and have a job and do all kinds of things that real girls do. But there's still so much to do and tonight I hope to have another experience that I've heard so much about. I've watched movies and read books and nearly all of them talk about slumber parties as if they're the quintessential coming of age experience.

I want to have these experiences, things I never would have done had Mother succeeded.

So tonight I've planned a night with my friends, and invited them to invite a few of theirs. I have cookies and ice cream and pizza and games and scary movies to watch and I truly hope that everyone enjoys themselves. There are pillows and sleeping bags all over our living room and I have to thank you for allowing me to overrun the apartment like this.

I do hope we all have fun.

Nails are something she knows, like it or not. Bren owned a salon and Juno had spent time in there playing with polishes even though it wasn't the sort of thing she usually went for. Leah had, and took advantage of it too, not that Juno minded.


"Want me to do it?" She offers up the bottle in one hand. "You'd be surprised how good at this I am."
