Once she was alone, hy immediately dialed Geo's number.

Hello Geo, I got your text. What's that all about?" she asked, going straight for it.

"So you think I should go ahead with it?" Geo finally asked.

"Thank you, Ivy Geo said softly. "I'm grateful for everything you do for me." "You're my brother and I love you."
