"Who were you calling just now?" She cupped Ivy's face in her hands and gave it a gentle rub.
Ivy mulled it over.
She didn't hide it from her mom: "I was calling my principal. One of my classmates didn't show up this afternoon, so I wanted to check in."
"Alison?" Rosalynn held Ivy's hand as they walked into the room.
Ivy was taken aback: "Did dad tell you what happened today?"
"Yeah." Rosalynn nodded, "Dad was worried you might be upset, but he's not the best at comforting people, so he called in mom."
Ivy leaned her head on Rosalynn's arm.
She let out a long sigh: "I must be the luckiest kid in the world. Alison's mom is so scary, she was crying and making a scene, and even slapped Alison in front of everyone."
Ivy paused: "The school board members all know how important self-esteem is for kids. They wouldn't let anyone know who's on special support. But Alison's mom just blurted it out in front of everyone..."
"You want to help Alison, don't you?" Rosalynn asked gently.
Ivy nodded softly.
"Dad and I will do our best, but... honey, everyone has their own destiny. We can only do so much, and the result might not be satisfactory. Don't blame yourself, okay?" Rosalynn lightly patted her cheek.
"Got it!" Ivy nodded vigorously.
"Good girl." Rosalynn gave her a hug, "Go take a bath."
"Are you going for a walk with dad?" Ivy asked.
"Yeah~" Rosalynn nodded with a smile, "Dad wants to check on your pet goldfish, and then play some frisbee with Max."
"Okay!"
After leaving Ivy's room, Rosalynn saw Wayne waiting in the small living room.
The moon was lovely that night.
