There was always a first time for everything, and Ivy hadn't thought she would be moved by seeing Silas so different.

She pulled him closer, letting his head rest against her chest as they both sat down,

"It's okay," she said softly, her heart aching with pity for him.

Her throat dried up, and she swallowed. "Guess she's coming for me too. She has been so damn close."

Silas didn't say anything, he just took her hand and kissed it.

She allowed it. Partially because of how he was feeling, and partially because she missed the comfort of it.

Ivy caught the meaning behind his glance. Her thoughts drifted to Aunt May, and her chest tightened. "It's a long story."

Jonathan joined them, carrying a grey duffel bag. Cole took it from him and gestured towards the hallway.

"Let's find you and little Cole'a room," he told Cheryl.

Cheryl nodded, holding her baby tightly. "It was nice to see you, Mr. Stone."

"Same here," Silas replied flatly.

Once they all left the living room, Ivy turned back to him. "What did you want to tell me?"
