Daily Writing Prompt: Guess who is coming to dinner?

Prompt: Guess who is coming to dinner?

1st Attempt:

She had just put the dressing in the oven when the phone rang.

"Hi Mom. We'll be there in about an hour, I can't wait to see the family. This is going to be great."

"I am glad you landed safe. Do you need Dad to pick you up, and your sisters are dying to see you. Wait, did you say we? You have someone with you?"

"Sorry mom, this is a bad connection, we'll talk when I get there. Love ya, bye."

She slowly hung up the phone and wondered at what her daughter had not said in that conversation. Someone was with her, but who, and why wouldn't she say who. She knew that her girlfriends were always welcome, they always had been. All the years that the girls had been growing up, they always hung out here, they were always welcome and even on holidays and extra girl or two could be found at the house. So why didn't she say who was with her. Her husband walked in the room.

"Was that the phone I heard?"

"Yes, Lori landed safely and is on her way. Guess who is coming to dinner?"
