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."

"Silas. This is Bailey. Are you home?"

He relaxed at the sound of her voice. "Yes, I am."

"Good. I'm on my way." Then she ended the call.

"Who was that?" Ivy asked.

"Bailey. Said she's coming."

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

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