Eli stood. “Good plan. Hang tight. You’ll receive a special package tomorrow.”

“Thank you!” all three Littles said.

Eli waved it off. “Don’t mention it. Happy to help.” He started walking back to the podium but stopped and threw a glance over his shoulder. “Oh, and girls?”

“Yes, Eli?” Maisie asked on everyone’s behalf.

Eli grinned. “Hit ‘em hard. For me.”

Chapter Eleven

That evening, Maisie was a bundle of excited yet nervous energy as she prepared for her date.

“You look great!” Sophia told her.

“Yeah. You’re going to blow Declan’s mind,” Naomi added.

The women were standing in Maisie’s bedroom. Maisie thanked them, but she wasn’t so convinced as she studied herself in the full-length mirror that hung on the back of the door.

The pink babydoll dress she wore was cute, she thought, but should she dress in “big girl” clothes? And what about that diaper underneath her frilly panties? That was too much. Right?

Yet every time she went back into the closet to reach for her “big” clothes, something just didn’t feel right.

Her friends had watched this process play out several times, so she wasn’t surprised that they were seemingly reading her mind now.

“He needs to see the real you,” Naomi offered. “I know big girl Maisie is just as much you as Little Maisie. It’s not like you’re in Little Space all the time. But you told us you’ve been excited about coming to camp. That this is your dream.”

Maisie nodded.

“Then live it. Don’t hide who you truly are,” Naomi said. “You have to do that enough in your vanilla life.”

“She’s right,” Sophia offered. “And besides, it’s obvious he’s a Daddy. And you know what Daddies like to see.”

The women laughed.

Maisie smiled. “That’s true. I might as well just be myself from the beginning and see where it goes.”

“That’s the spirit!” Sophia said.

Maisie was ready to fully embrace her Little outfit when a knock at the door told her it didn’t matter one way or another now—she was out of time.

“He’s here!” Sophia said. She giggled. “Why am I excited about this? It’s not like I’m the one going on a date.” She touched Maisie’s arm. “I’m just happy for you, friend.”

“Thank you,” Maisie said. “We’ll see where this leads. And who knows? You two might meet someone soon. Lots of Daddies around here, it seems.”

The women followed her from the bedroom and toward the front door, with Naomi saying, “Hey, I saw the way Declan looked at you last night when he came to our rescue. I think this is going to go really well.”

Maisie drew a deep breath, tried to contain her excitement, and then opened the door.

No one was there.

“Where’d he—”

Before she could finish the question, two eggs swooshed through the air. One landed on her face, and the other burst on her dress.

“Hey!” she cried.

Laughing could be heard and more eggs started flying. She quickly ducked inside, slammed the door shut, and called, “It’s another attack!”
