“This is going to be the best party ever!" said Chloe, her voice a little breathless as she surveyed her living room, now transformed into a whimsical wonderland. Streamers, balloons, a piñata shaped like a unicorn – everything was ready. Tonight, she turned twelve.

Her cousin, Emily, was having a massive pool party. The thought of it caused a flicker of self-doubt. But this, this was what she wanted: a space filled with the people she loved, a night made of magic.

She checked her watch, her anticipation growing with each passing minute. This was going to be the most wonderful evening. She could already see the smiles, hear the shrieks of laughter.
