Tannyhill

Do you know that feeling of when you don't belong? Like, you're walking through a foreign country and everyone is speaking a language that you don't understand. You feel lost, confused and out of your element. That's how driving onto Tannyhill in the back of Ward Cameron's sports car felt like to Harli. She and John B were in unknown territory and it was terrifying. The only good thing that she felt was coming out of this situation was the fact that she was getting to stay on the island and didn't have to leave her friends.

"Welcome home, kids." Ward pulls up in front of the large mansion that is his home.

Harli exchanges a look with John B as they get out of the car and he nods his head towards the house, indicating that we follow Ward inside. Sarah immediately wraps John B in a hug as she walks in beside him. Harli watches the exchange from behind them, still a tad uncomfortable with their new budding romance. Sarah takes his hand and leads him away to a bedroom downstairs upon entering through the front door. Harli timidly follows a distance behind, looking around the foyer of the home as she goes.

"This is your room." Sarah explains to John B as he lays his bag down onto the bed.

"Whoa." John B breathes out as he takes it all in.

"It's not too shabby, huh?

"Yeah. Not too shabby at all." John B smiles at her as Harli rolls her eyes from the door frame.

"And my room is just upstairs... in case you were wondering. "Sarah smirks at him and John B's breath hitches. "Are you okay?" Sarah lets out a laugh at his response. Harli rolls her eyes at their exchange and has to keep herself from gagging. Their flirting couldn't be more obvious and she was feeling completely uncomfortable now.

"Yeah. No, I'm good. I'm good. I got it." John B clears his throat as Sarah giggles.

"But I have to warn you..." Sarah starts to say with a serious face. "Uh-oh." John B smirks at her before she continues. "I sleepwalk. So, if I show up in your room in the middle of the night..."

"You just want me to roll with it?"

"Yeah, maybe." Sarah smirks as she leans forwards to kiss John B. Harli clears her throat and attempts to refrain from gagging from the bedroom doorway- gaining the attention of the two lovebirds.

"Yep... still here, guys." Harli breathes out as Ward approaches behind her.

"Sarah Elizabeth Cameron!" Ward warns his daughter as he stands directly behind Harli. "You've already broken the first rule. What is the first rule?"

"Stay out of each other's rooms." Sarah breathes out.

"Alright, seriously. Picture that as a boundary. This is like a minefield." Ward instructs as he walks in passed Harli. "Yes, sir?"

"Yes, sir." Sarah concedes.

"Yes, sir, John B?"

"Uh, yes, sir. Yeah." John B agrees.

"Alright. Sarah, can you give me and the new inmate a quick minute here? And maybe show Harli to her room as well?"

"Yeah, sure." Sarah agrees as she walks out the door and Harli turns to follow.

"And Harli?" Ward stops her and she turns around to face him. "The same rules apply to you as well. I do have a twenty year old son that still lives here, but you need to stay out of his room as well. Understood?"

"No worries there, sir." Harli sighs out before following after Sarah.

Harli follows Sarah up the stairs as she gives a small tour of the home, passing by Rafe and Wheezie's rooms. At the end of the hall they come to a closed door and stop. She opens it up, letting Harli walk inside first. The room is bigger than her room at the chateau, with bay windows and a window seat. The four-post bed is made up with soft yellow linens and the room has an airy feel to it. Harli looks around in amazement as Sarah follows in behind her.
