“Thank you, mister good guy,” I said, a layer of sarcasm in my voice..

He said nothing, just walked me to the front door. The guards bowed their heads as we passed, and I gritted my teeth, wishing they wouldn’t act so subservient. We went inside, the tension between us thick and uncomfortable.

“Don’t cry,” she said, her voice soft and reassuring.

I let out a self–deprecating laugh. “I’m such a baby, stupid me,” I said, brushing away my

Aisha tugged on my arm, leading me to the dining room table. There, a massive cake sat, the words “Happy Birthday, Nelly” written in gold icing. Twenty–four candles
