Back at the Kappa house, Tree lit the red candle on the cupcake Lori had made and placed it between her and Carter.

They were sitting on the rug beneath the window by her bed. The moonlight was pouring in from outside, and the candle was the only other light in the room. Tree realized in a sudden rush of joy that this was the only party she’d ever wanted and the last one she would have asked for prior to today—or prior to sixteen todays, depending on the method of counting.

“So,” Carter said. “This has to be strangest birthday you’ve ever had.”

“You have no idea.”

“Did you ever figure out how Tombs got free?”

She shook her head. “No. No one knows.”

“He’s like Houdini.”

“I guess.” Tree picked up the cupcake and peeled off the paper wrapper.

“What are you going to wish for?”

She thought about it for a second or two, staring at the glow of the candle. Then she looked across the flame into Carter’s eyes.

“Tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?” he asked. “Isn’t that kind of a given? Might want to aim a little higher.”

Tree smiled. “Nah. Tomorrow’s good enough for me.”

Then she closed her eyes and blew out the candle.
