Sam.

10 months ago.

Elizabeth sent me home half an hour after I knocked on the door. We'd gone back and forth for a bit before she relented to suggesting the idea to her husband.

She said, word by word, "I don't want Liv thinking that every year we are going to host a party for her. We don't have enough time for that."

I contradicted her, saying, "She wouldn't request it again after knowing what her parent's limits are."

She smiled and said, "True." I was shocked that she gave up so quickly.

She leaned forward with the tea cup sloshing liquid inside. "Sam." I stiffened. "What are your interests with Liv exactly?" I choked on my spit.

"She's been a friend of mine for seven years and counting." I bit out the words.

She leaned back. "That's it?"

I stared blankly.

She called my home number saying that she would bake one cake, buy some balloons, and leave the rest to me. I asked her if she wanted me to keep it a secret. She let out a dry laugh and said, "Isn't that the point?"

I asked if we would have it at their house, she said sure and hung up.
