Chloe gaped at her as if she were mad. “You’ve got to be joking!” she scoffed. “As if I’d even care about your stupid toy.”

“Chloe …” said Aunt Lily warningly.

Maddy glared at her cousin. Maybe Chloe was upset about moving again, but that didn’t give her the right to sneer at people! “Nibs is not a toy,” she snapped, clutching the tiny cat to her chest. “And I bet she’s a whole lot cleverer than you are!”

Before Chloe could reply, Mum appeared in the study doorway. “What’s going on in here?” She spotted Maddy, and her face grew stern. “I thought you were in bed, young lady.”

Maddy gulped. “I was … I just …”

Mum kept staring at her, her expression slowly turning to confusion. “Hang on – how did you get through the lounge without us seeing you?”

“She sneaked,” put in Chloe angrily. “Just like she sneaked in here!”

“That’s enough, Chloe!” said Aunt Lily, steering her daughter away from the desk. “Now come on, it’s time to get ready for bed.” The two of them left the study.

In the sudden silence, Mum opened her mouth and then closed it again. She rubbed her forehead. “Well, gosh, I must be going blind not to have seen you. Or else you’re just very good at sneaking!”

“I guess I’m just very good at sneaking,” agreed Maddy, red-cheeked.

“Back to bed now,” said Mum. She held the door open for Maddy. “Come on, hip-hop.”

Maddy slowly climbed the stairs behind Mum. Who was Chrissy, and where was Chloe planning on taking a train to? she wondered. Was she going on a day trip somewhere, maybe?

But she had no chance to talk to Nibs about it. Back in her bedroom, Mum put the ceramic cat on her desk and then tucked Maddy into bed.
