The next day
The only time I got to see Ivy was in small glimpses or brief, very brief words before being called back for my chores. However, after finishing the washing, I hung it out. I had woken up extra early this morning, hoping to get my chores finished early. I had been building up the courage all day, and now it was nearing. I was already talking myself out of it.

Stopping next to her, I glance around at the cooks preparing for dinner, yet even though I knew I had two hours before I was needed to be back here, I still hesitated, chewing on the inside of my lip, trying to find the words.

“What is it?” she snaps, and I flinch at her bitter tone. Her eyes narrowed at me, and I instantly regret ted thinking of asking for anything.

“What is it? Spit it out before I lash you,” she snarls.
