Rosalynn noticed that Ivy was feeling down, so she went to her room just before bedtime.
Just as she thought, Ivy was sobbing into her pillow.
"What's wrong?" Rosalynn asked gently.
Ivy looked up at her, and then crawled into her arms.
Rosalynn held her, gently patting her on the back, "Are you upset because you're going to miss Liam?"
"Yes!" Ivy answered, choking back her tears.
"Babe, Liam is a great friend, right?" Rosalynn gently wiped her tears, asking gently.
"He is!" Ivy confirmed.
"I also think Liam is pretty awesome." Rosalynn said softly, "So, I think it's a good decision for Liam to go study at a top school."
"I know." Ivy nodded, crying, "But I won't be able to see him often."
"How about this? Whenever you miss Liam, I'll take you to see him during the holidays!"
"Really?"
"Of course, we can get to where Liam is pretty quickly by plane." Rosalynn patted her back, "Don't be sad, okay?"
Ivy sobbed a couple of times, then honestly answered, "Maybe... Maybe I'll need a few more days to not be sad, because Liam is a good friend that I really like..."
"I know." Rosalynn gently touched her daughter's cheek.
Ivy then collapsed onto Rosalynn's shoulder and cried for a while.
She finally fell asleep with tears in her eyes when she was tired from crying.
Rosalynn kissed her forehead, turned off the lights in the room, and then stepped out and closed the door.
Wayne was waiting in the small living room on the second floor.
"Did Ivy cry?" he asked.
Rosalynn looked at the wet spot on her shoulder and nodded helplessly, "She's really upset."
