I didn't want to know, it wasn't my choice. But someone has to warn the world about what will happen.""Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Adeline, Happy birthday to you!" Adeline's family cheered. The big sixteen. Adeline looked around, giddy to the core. Outside waiting for her was a twenty nineteen model Buick Encore Preferred, a shiny ...
