{{spoiler}}
 
Set on Memorial Day in Highland, Texas, the Morgendorffer family is at a barbeque hosted by [[Helen Morgendorffer|Helen's]] boss. Uncomfortable with the company, [[Jake Morgendorffer|Jake]] chooses to entertain his young daughters, [[Quinn Morgendorffer|Quinn]] (age 5) and [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] (age 7) instead of mingling with the adults. With Daria's help, Jake spins an off-the-cuff fantasy story about princesses to entertain Quinn. Once back home Jake ignores his wife's admonishment he didn't network during the party, knowing his bonding with his daughters was far more important.
 
The last paragraph shows Daria holding her first published book- a variation of the story she and her father had told to Quinn all those years ago. The dedication reveals she too, holds the memeorymemory of that day very dear.
