She snorts. “Of course not. Do you think I would have agreed to come if I’d known you’d be here?”

I love how she says, “agreed to come,” as if she’s doing everyone a favor by being here. Some favor. I’m sure all the London ballet stars are thrilled she’s here.

“Well, what are we going to do?” she says.

“Hope they break up soon,” I say.

She stands up to go back to her seat. “Well, if your dad’s anything like you, she’ll definitely get sick of him fast,” she says.

I pop up to go thump her, but just then Dad and Marjory both return.

Dad looks horrified that we had been left alone together. I’m sorry, he mouths when they’re not looking.

“You girls having a nice chat?” Marjory asks.

“Uh-huh,” I say. Tiara Girl smiles a big, fake smile.

The second half of the show is as good as the first, but Tiara Girl’s gotten under my skin and I don’t enjoy it as much. By the time the curtain drops for the last time, I’ve decided that something definitely needs to be done. But what?

After the show, we all walk down the stairs to the lobby together. “Would you two like to go out and have some ice cream with us?” Marjory asks.

“It’s a school night,” I say. “I should be in bed already.”

“Well, it’s a special day,” she says, as Dad helps her into her coat. “I think it’s fine to stay up late once in a while.”

I bet Dad would like to spend more time with Marjory. I’ll bet he wants me to say yes, but I feel mean, and the last thing I want to do is hang out with Tiara Girl for another hour. I force a big yawn. “I’m really tired,” I say.

“Maybe another time,” Marjory says. She puts her hand on his arm. The hair on the back of my neck rises.

“Sure,” I say. There will be another time, I think, over my dead body.
