“Where’s my birthday date?” Lauren called through the house as I tied the bow on Collins’ dress. “Where’s Aunt Lauren’s little girl?”

“I’m coming!” Collins hollered, pulling away from me so sharply that it undid the bow.

“Baby, give me a second,” I wheedled, drawing her back to me and retying the bow. “There. Now you can go.”

Collins giggled as she dashed off to meet my sister, who had made good on her offer to take my daughter for a night. I hadn’t told Collins about it until Lauren had confirmed. I knew my sister was busy with everything in her life, and there was no use getting Collins excited about something that would ultimately disappoint her—like her aunt not showing up on the day she said she would.

“Oh, you look so beautiful,” Lauren was gushing when I finally made it downstairs. “Look at this! I should’ve worn a nicer dress, huh?”

“You look like a princess,” Collins said solemnly, taking in my sister’s shimmering floor-length maxi dress and sandals. “Or a warrior.”

“Well, if that’s not a glowing review for this outfit, I don’t know what is,” Lauren said, laughing as she saw me come in. “Tell your dad what we’re going to do tonight, Collie.”

“Mani-pedi!” my daughter roared at me. “Cake! Snacks! Popcorn! Movies! Gossip!”

“Sounds like a regular sleepover to me,” I said, unable to hide my grin at how excited my daughter was. Everyone who was around her doted on her. Would she be this thrilled to be around kids her own age? Or would she be disappointed?

Maybe Heather was making sense on that point. We couldn’t treat her to these kinds of experiences for the rest of her life. She needed friends and normal interactions with other kids.

“It’s a princess sleepover,” Collins informed me flatly. “Not a regular one.”

“Oh, sorry,” I said. “Did Princess Lauren know glitter is a requirement at princess sleepovers?”

Lauren’s smile vanished. “No.”

“Wait here!” my daughter bellowed as she dashed away.

“What did you do?” my sister demanded.

I grinned. “Made tonight a little more interesting.”

“Have you met your daughter? She is already interesting. We didn’t have to add glitter to the mix.”

“If I have to deal with it, you have to deal with it.”

“Uh-huh.” Lauren sounded nowhere near convinced. “And what are you going to do with your night so I can feel less shitty about glitter invading my—hey, there she is!”

The pockets of Collins’ dress were suspiciously bulky. That’s it. That was my plan for tonight. I was going to find that glitter stash once and for all so I could clean my balls without coming away sparkly. Seriously. That shit got everywhere.

“I am going to be doing very boring things,” I said, winking at Collins. “Things like naps. And baths. And clipping toenails.”

“Yuck!” Collins exclaimed.

“Hey, what do you think a pedicure is?” I asked her.

“Shush, you!” Lauren exclaimed. “Don’t ruin the surprise, Graham! Let’s get out of here, oh niece of mine, before your daddy poops on our princess plans.”

“I only poop in the toilet,” I said with as much dignity as I could muster.
