If the devil’s in the details, then el diablo loved to cha-cha on Spanish
accent marks. A dash over the a in tonight’s side dish, for example, and
party guests would get a baked dad—instead of a baked potato—to
accompany their filet mignon.
I checked the menu card one more time.
All clear. A quick scan down the rest of tonight’s other courses—
thankfully none of those spellings needed acute accents, dieresis … or the
dreaded tilde.
Nothing spelled disaster more than a missing squiggly mustache mark
over the n in años.
Having watched Po’s birthday banner drop, only for it to wish my sister
happy fifteen buttholes instead of happy fifteen years, I spoke from
experience.
I lowered the perfectly spelled menu onto the middle of the goldrimmed plate with shaky fingers. Flashbacks of that night knocked against
my chest. But the memories of the months leading up to it walloped hardest.
Threatening to bust my heart open like a piñata.
I shook my head and pulled my planner from my bag. Thumbed through
the pages filled with student body association calendar events until I hit the
Angie Montes Bday Party Final Checklist tab.
Going down the rest of the list, I surveyed the ballroom. Head table set
to perfection? Check. White roses and pink hydrangeas brimming from the
center of the other tables? Check.
As our school’s event-planning chair, I’d gone down similar lists
countless times. Every checkmark of the pencil usually steadied my pulse.
No such luck tonight.
Probably because this wasn’t a Matteo Beach High winter formal, prom,
or fundraiser but my first solo(ish) attempt at party planning. As if starting a
side hustle wasn’t stressful enough, of course the first party out the gates
had to be a quince.
Sure, this fiesta celebrated a rite of passage for the birthday girl. But it
could be one for me, too.
Because if tonight went off without a hitch, I could keep checking off
boxes for both my short- and long-term goals this summer, starting with
Angie recommending my services to our classmates and ending with the
party-planning experience I needed to apply to Mandy Whitmore and
Associates’ fairy godmother internship.
I shut the planner and hugged it close, whispering Mandy’s mission
statement: “With the wave of a magic stylus—plus a few hands-on tricks of
the trade—my team of fairy godmother’s apprentices and I will make your
event storybook stunning.”
Closing my eyes, I recited the last sentence: “Happily ever afters are our
business.”
Like a spell working its magic, pieces of my HEA painted themselves
behind my eyelids.
A calendar stuffed with tons of picture-perfect parties. Acceptance into a
great college with a stellar hospitality management major and PR minor.
Preferably one with a kick-ass volleyball team, so Po could also go there.
Before I slotted in my wishes for Dad, Juno’s voice shattered my
Torres-family vision board.
