"Thank you" Ny said to Bud composing her nerves with a smile.

Yes, malam' Bud nodded and left

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.

"changed my mind Geo said calmly, but she could hear the hesitation in his voice. Patrick had gotten into his head, and right now she was dying to know why.

Despite her eagerness, she asked softly. "Is there any reason for that?"

Geo didn't say anything, and it got her thinking as well. Why was she adding more pressure? When this had begun, it was about Geo finding his base, but now, she couldn't shake off the feeling that this was becoming more.

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

"Yes," Ivy replied quickly. "You should. It's not anybody's journey but yours."

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