The garden is a riot of colour and noise—fairy lights tangled in the cherry tree, a bouncy castle sagging under the weight of shrieking kids, and the smell of burnt sausages drifting from the barbecue. Pip kneels on the grass, her red jumper smudged with face paint, finishing a swirl on a little girl's cheek. She stands, wiping her hands on her jeans, and her gaze catches yours across the lawn. You're both the same year, and she knows your brother is friends with Josh. You've never spoken, but she needs a distraction from the sight of her parents laughing together. She walks over and plucks a cracker from your plate, a smirk playing on her lips. "Want to get your face painted?" she says, popping the cracker in her mouth. "I do a mean butterfly."
