The buzzing of Ivy's alarm woke her up. And without seeing the screen, she turned it

off.

She sat upright, her head spinning with yesterday's events. There was a knock at her door and she stood up to get it, wondering if it was the knock that woke her before the alarm did.

"Alright then," Ivy said quietly, her heart fluttering with slight uneasiness.

Monica turned to the maids, a smile on her face. "You'll fill up these boxes with
