As if to match his aunt’s pizzazz, Davidson drove his mint-condition Coupe de Ville that he wipes every day with an old T-shirt, but never drives, to the party (so he could show it off, obviously).

Still buzzing from our standing ovation possibly, Mr. Davidson said next year we’re going to up the ante, theater-wise.

“Let’s really blow their socks off,” he told me as he cut me a piece of Peter Pan cake and plopped it on a paper plate with the same theme. “It’s time.”

What could that mean?? Guys and Doll s?! Grease? DOLLS AND DOLLS??? Talk about having an agenda.

Millie and Mr. Davidson ended up meeting at the party, and now she and Mr. Davidson are, like, best friends, by the way. She’s even using him for her next series, Small Town.

Tanner’s dad didn’t come to the after-party, which was kind of sad, but Gilly’s did. And he brought her daisies and told everyone how proud of her he was. Which was embarrassing, but I think in a good way, from the look on Gilly’s face. He also gave me a daisy and a pretty solid linebacker clap on the back.

I can’t tell if Gilly actually wants to be friends, or what it meant that she invited me to the dance. But for now, like the rest of the Forevers, she looks happy.

And I’ll take that any day.

Sarah’s mother also came to the party, looking like an older Sarah with big earrings and big hair. She shook my hand and told me I gave a magnificent performance. Then, like two minutes later, Berry told me her mom saw a social media post where Sarah’s mom said my performance was campy and overdramatic and she accused me of putting on airs! The campy and overdramatic bit is a tautology of sorts, which, she can look up what that means. I might have overplayed it a little but, hey, I just really enjoyed putting my hands on my hips in an angular fashion and talking in a loud, high-pitched cheerleader tone for all my lines.

Peter Pan is campy and overdramatic. He’s a kid who wants to be a kid forever. He fights pirates. He runs a club of “Lost Boys.”

“He’s not an accountant!” I fumed to Millie.

“Everyone is entitled to their opinions,” Millie said, licking the green icing off her fork. “That’s art, baby!”

Berry later reported that Sarah’s mom’s post got no likes and one person who replied, “Well, I thought she was great.”

And that got a bunch of likes.

So maybe all of Greenville is ready to move on.

Most importantly, Lucy and Millie both thought my performance was amazing. Even if Lucy had to close her eyes when I was soaring overhead. Millie said I looked happiest when I was soaring.
