It was finally time for the party. I had told some of Keith's friends to tell him that they were going to a really special place and to tell him to dress his best.

It was already seven in the evening so he must be here any minute now. I had worn a simple dark blue dress and wanted to ensure everything was perfect in the garden so I came a few minutes before seven o'clock.

His family had already arrived as quietly as could be managed. We had successfully kept Keith from knowing that we were planning something. I interacted with his family for a bit, playing for some time with the little children. The cake was ready and so was his present from me.

Now we all just awaited Keith's entrance.

"You did a nice job with the preparations." Said a voice next to my ear. I was startled for a second at the unexpected voice and turned around only to see Ethan.

"Thanks. What're you doing here?"

"I'm here to attend the party."

"I don't think you got an invitation."
