"Don't flare up without hearing me out," Aunt May said, moving closer.

But it was too late. Ivy's annoyance had already turned into anger, and she couldn't hide it. "Hear you out? What is there to explain?"

"I'm telling you the truth."

"And I shouldn't believe my own eyes or my own daughter?"

Ivy blinked, disbelief coursing through her as she took a step back. "What do you mean by that?"

May stood as well, her expression firm. "I mean you should try to understand where we're coming from."
