The party idea
She suggested having a ‘housewarming’ party to take my stepfather off guard before making the announcement. “It’s perfect!” she cried, her enthusiasm infectious. “He won’t suspect a thing if it’s all framed as a celebration.” The notion was excellent. A housewarming celebration would divert his focus and throw him off guard. Furthermore, it was the type of gathering where everyone essential would be present, making the disclosure even more powerful. I couldn’t help but smile at the cleverness behind it.

We kept contact covert by using nicknames and codes in our texts. The more we planned, the more delighted we got. It felt like we were carrying out the ultimate theft.
