"Bill, backyard, three o'clock, presents by the grill," Molly said. "How many?" Bill asked. "Enough for the trunk. We slip the latch, walk in with a balloon, and nobody looks twice." "A balloon." "Camouflage. When the piñata cracks, every eye goes to the candy. That is our window. You take the left pile, I take the right, we meet at the gate." "What do I say if a mom stops me?" "You say you are with the entertainment. Smile. Do not run until the sidewalk." "And if a kid follows the gifts?" "Hand them one small box and keep walking. Sacrifice a toy, save the haul." "This is unhinged." "This is efficient. My sister's minivan is on the corner. Car seats in the back so we look local." "I hate that this might work." "It works if you do not narrate it. Gloves on. Wrapping paper slides." "Name of the birthday kid?" "Does not matter. We are not staying for cake." "I like cake." "You can like cake in the van. Are you in?" "I am in. If a first-grader tackles me, you owe me dinner." "Done. Now stop shaking and look like you belong at a birthday."
