Molly crouched behind the bouncy castle, binoculars trained on a mountain of gifts wrapped in dinosaurs and glitter. Bill wore a clown nose and the expression of a man reconsidering every decision since breakfast. “Plan A,” Molly whispered, “we crawl in during musical chairs.” “Plan A smells like jam,” Bill said. “That’s Brenda’s jumper. Focus.” “Why are we robbing six-year-olds, Molly?” “Because Brenda invited the whole street except us.” “She said my juggling was ‘litigious.’” “Exactly. We take the presents, leave coupons for kale, and vanish before the magician makes evidence disappear.” A piñata creaked overhead. Bill flinched into the lemonade. Children screamed with delight. “We need disguises,” Molly said. “I am a disguise.” “You’re a cautionary tale. Steal me that tiara.” “It’s plastic.” “So is my patience. On three: one, two—” The birthday girl pointed. “Look! Bad clowns!” Molly sighed. “New plan. We join the conga line and commit crimes rhythmically.” Bill nodded solemnly. “Finally, art.” Outside, sirens kazooed closer. Molly grabbed a goodie bag; Bill grabbed dignity, found none, took cake. “Run?” he asked. “Walk fabulous,” she said.
