The First to Die at the End

by Adam Silvera

I expected to find the fam on the couch watching a movie or something because why else would they be down here, but there’s nothing but blankets and throw pillows there. “Surprise!” I tense up, and we find the ladies of Team Young out in the tiny backyard with a festive blanket thrown over the fold-out table. Dalma is holding roses, and Dahlia is raising a sign that reads WELCOME VALENTINO! with most of the letters covered in glitter, almost like she ran out of time or glitter, maybe both. Dayana is the first to walk over to Valentino and embrace him in her arms, like a mother. “It’s wonderful to meet you,” Dayana says, her palms on his face. “You too, Ms. Dayana,” Valentino says.
