Summary
Analysis
Sephy can’t sleep. Inviting Callum to her birthday seemed like a great idea, but now it’s not looking so good. If things were different, he’d be the first person on her guest list—but things aren’t different.
Sephy is starting to mature a little; she realizes that perhaps things won’t be safe for Callum at the party. She’s starting to accept that her world is racist, and for Callum’s safety, she can’t have everything she wants.
