Shock rippled through Ivy, and it showed in her voice. "That was... quick."
guess," Cole replied. "Pick his call and talk to him. Please."
She nodded.
"Okay," Cole said, then walked away.
Guilt mingled with the shock as she walked toward her phone. She dialed Silas's number, her heart pounding with each ring,
"Hey," he answered softly.
A shiver ran from her back to the middle of her legs, and the guilt deepened. "Hey," she replied softly, grateful he couldn't see the heat that crept on her cheeks. "Cole called me."
"Yes. The man was captured not long ago. The detectives want you here when they question him."
Her stomach knotted. "Alright, I'm coming."
He paused for a bit. "Should I send Bud over?"
"No, it's fine. Jon and someone else would come with me."
"Alright," he said with some hesitation. "See you soon."
"Yeah," she said and ended the call.
Running a hand through her hair, she began gathering her things. Even though it
still felt like Rosie was always a thousand steps ahead, this felt like a
win.
And she hoped it would lead to something great.
When she left the room, she met Geoffrey in the hallway.
"Hey Ivy," he said cheerfully.
"Hey, love," she replied with a smile. "How are you?"
"Good," he grinned. "Happy birthday in advance."
Ivy blinked. Then it clicked. "Shoot! I totally forgot."
Geoffrey laughed and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "Don't be too hard on yourself. It happens."
She sighed, completely detached already.
Birthdays had never meant much to her after her mother died, and with everything
going on, it was the last thing on her mind.
"Did you hear about... your dad?"
She frowned. "Your dad or our dad?"
Geoffrey's smile faltered, and he stepped back slightly. "I... I don't know. It's complicated."
Ivy moved closer, her heart aching for him. "I understand, Geo. You don't have to explain. Let's just focus on us. How is school by the way? And your games?" she asked, changing the subject.
