Never had I experienced so many sleepless nights. Excitement
bubbled in my tummy like pop rocks. I slipped out of bed in the
middle of the night because I couldn’t sleep again. I would turn
eleven in only seven days.
Moonlight filtered in through the French doors, drawing me toward it. I
stepped out onto my balcony into the crisp night. Everything was bright
from the full moon, so when I looked to the left, the expanse of lawn and
gardens stretched out behind the house.
The moon’s twin shimmered in the pond out back. Soon, my dad would
be throwing parties outside again. His serious, old friends weren’t very fun,
but I loved how they decorated everything in twinkle lights and brought out
the chocolate fountain.
My arms crossed on the railing as I listened to the whisper of palmsized leaves. A massive sycamore tree shot up past my third-floor balcony
and was always active with birds and squirrels, but not a single animal
chittered right now.
I’d barely seen my dad the last couple months. Nanny Maureen
reminded me this morning, as she braided my hair, that my dad was a very
important man and working very hard right now.
He was up for re-election, which meant he was almost never in the
house, and when he was, he was in his office and not to be disturbed. I
needed to be on my best behavior. If I was a good girl, it would help him
focus on what was important.
The wind picked up my hair and whipped it around my face, causing
goosebumps from the cold and anticipation to rise along my skin.
But my birthday? The whole day was going to be just my dad and me.
None of his campaign people, absolutely no work, and I got to decide what
we did the entire day. I chose ice cream and a painting class. I almost
picked the museum, but people always bothered him, and I’d end up
wandering around the exhibit on my own while people took pictures and
asked my dad questions.
But on Saturday we would get messy with paints, and make big,
beautiful sunflowers I planned on hanging in my room.
As I inhaled a deep breath of spring night air, I found myself locking
eyes with a strange boy sitting in my tree.
I reared back, but the two sharp gray eyes remained fixed on me. A
scream froze in my throat.
He seemed about my age, but his eyes held the weight and intensity of
someone far older. They pierced me like blades and rooted to the spot.
I scrounged up my voice. “What are you doing up here?” I asked.
He didn’t speak, didn’t move, just stared at me.
“I’m Kat. What’s your name? And how did you get up here?”
