Lukas's birthday party was filled with excitement. All the boys and adult men wore superhero costumes, while the women dressed as princesses, except for Bella, who claimed to be a modern-day princess in jeans and a superhero t-shirt.
The birthday boy initially resisted dancing with Katie, but he eventually gave in because Bella threatened once again that she wouldn't play with him. With a reluctant expression, he danced with Katie, who looked adorable and beautiful.
"It seems like it's time for you to let Lukas play with other children his age," commented Samuel, observing Lukas's development, as if he considered Bella to be his only friend.
"You know what happened when he was kidnapped, don't you?" replied William lazily, munching on a rainbow cookie in his hand. "I can't risk losing my son after losing Paula."
