She looked at me like I had asked her to hold a party in the middle of a landfill.

“A joint birthday?” she repeated, her voice cold and sharp. “I don’t think so.”
I was taken aback. “Well, I just thought—”
“Chloe deserves to be the only queen on her birthday,” she interrupted, her tone full of pride. “I can’t believe you’d even suggest something like that. Chloe’s birthday is going to be huge.”
I tried to explain that Lily had been through a lot this year, but she wasn’t interested.

“We’re throwing Chloe the party of the year,” she said. “We’ve got animators, a five-tier cake, gifts for all the kids—everything. Trust me, everyone will want to come.”
Her husband, who had just joined us, chuckled. “You might as well cancel yours,” he added smugly. “No one’s going to miss this one. It’ll be the talk of the school.”

My heart sank. I felt humiliated, standing there as they looked down on me. I could tell that my small party couldn’t compete with their grand spectacle. And I knew, deep down, that every kid would choose Chloe’s party.
Still, I went ahead with my plans for Lily. I wanted her to have a special day, even if no one showed up. I hung decorations, baked cupcakes, set up the bouncy castle, and hired a magician. It wasn’t extravagant, but it was full of love and care.
