Guests In My Hallway

So I need to give a fair bit of context first… I had no hand in the planning of my party.

All of my birthday celebrations were surprise parties so while I might know that there would be a party, I don't know what the content of the party would be.

One thing I knew for sure was that there would be a lot of sweets.

But this time, Mary was away from the mansion so I wasn't expecting anything really grand in that area.

That doesn't mean I was expecting the sweets to be crap, mind you, because the sweets the others could make were also really, really good.

That was why I was kind of looking forward to seeing what the party would be like this year, especially since there were more people this time around.

As we were walking through the halls of the mansion, I heard one of the girls let out a gasp behind me.

"That's… That's her!"

I looked behind to see her pointing at the wall beside us.
