She sat in the back seat beside Sophie while Henry drove.Henry decided to spend some time with Sophie's family before he and Vanessa headed back to the mansion. He wanted to play with Jayden for a while and make conversations with Anita, his cousin, who was also Jayden and Sophie's mom.
Vanessa was glad the hallway on the second floor was free. Anyone who saw her running would have thought she was crazy.
