With the sudden absence of Aphrodite . . Tabby let out a long sigh.<strong>"I don't think I've seen her since . . . my 11th Birthday. She snuck in while Father was in the house, and brought me a very yummy drink, then left after a few stories without him noticing. He eventually smelled the perfumes and ran all around the grounds looking for her though. It was a good birthday."</strong>
