said, walking into the room.

Silas turned to face her. "That's just mean at this point."

Ivy's mouth twisted in frustration. "What do we do now? This is... getting weird."

"Bailey. Said she's coming."

"Okay then. Let me..." Ivy was interrupted by a knock on the door,

"I'll get it."

He reached the door and opened it. It was Theresa, and she was carrying

"Hey, Si," Theresa greeted warmly. "I have to get busy now. Monica isn't around
