Chapter 2066

In the deep of the night, when Balfour returned to his room, Ivy had already fallen asleep, clutching the script.

After ensuring Ivy was tucked in snug beneath the quilt, Balfour climbed into bed to catch some sleep.

She reveled in the challenge of bringing another persona to life, adored the spotlight, and, in those moments, could shed all her worldly concerns, whether it was the weight of debts or heartache.
