Chapter Sixteen

[thebestseller]

Ahhh, the joys of youthful folly at school dances. It reminds me of my own teenage years, wild, rambunctious rascal that I was. But some of the stuff I did isn't exactly fit to tell in pleasant company. Nice to see you kids having fun, though, really.

So, it's my dearest Detective Beckett's birthday on the 17th of this month. She'll probably kill me for even thinking of it, but I'd like to throw her a party or do... something for her. She's been through a lot lately and could really use the fun.

Who's with me?

You're awesome. I'll handle baking cakes; I did enough for my daughter's birthdays and school parties. I want to have some fun, but going over the top isn't really her style either.

What about decorating with little dioramas of gummi bears? Or is that too silly?
