The sun was shining, and a gentle breeze rustled through the trees. My party! A celebration of pure, unadulterated fun.

A text from Mark: “Hey man, can’t make it to your party today. Sucks, I know. But Leo’s party is cancelled.” I did a little dance. Everything was perfect, and I had a whole day ahead of me.
