As we pulled up to the mansion, I frowned when I saw an unfamiliar car parked out front.

"Were you expecting someone?" Irene asked, also noticing the car.

"No, I don't think so," I murmur as I take off my seatbelt and slide out of the car.

We walked to the front door and pushed it open; I immediately heard voices coming from the living room and something that sounded like laughter. I furrowed my brows and glanced behind me at Irene, who looked equally confused.

We made our way through the front foyer and towards the living room. Once we were through the door, I completely froze.

I wasn't expecting to see the people sitting on the couch, and apparently neither did Irene because she sucked in a sharp breath.

"Tabby?" I asked, my tone filled with disbelief. To her side, I saw that both Chuck and Sherry were also seated on the couch.

My jaw was practically on the ground.

Sammy sat curled up on one of the love seats, a smile lighting up her face as she talked their ears off about her experiences here since she arrived.

Chuck and Sherry were only half listening.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as Tabby walked towards me and draped me in a tight hug.
