The next morning, Gem Atkinson received a call from Eleanor Spencer Atkinson, inviting them all to brunch at Renowned Garden.
When Gem, Forsythia Brown, Clive, and Audrey arrived, they found Tiffany Mamet was also there.
Audrey's little eyebrows raised, and then she walked in with big strides, crisply saying 'Good morning, Grandpa and Grandma.'
"Oh, my sweet little granddaughter." Eleanor Spencer Atkinson said, hugging Audrey and kissing her on the cheek.
Even the serious Mr. Atkinson looked at Audrey gently, and then waved at Clive to sit down next to him.
After everyone exchanged greetings, Eleanor Spencer Atkinson said with a smile, "This is Tiffany Mamet, whom you all met last night. From now on, you can just call her Tiffany. She will be staying at Atkinson Manor for a while."
Tiffany smiled gracefully, saying, "Sorry to bother you all."
Audrey, holding her little spoon, crisply asked, "If you feel you're bothering us, why don't you refuse?"
