Rosalynn gave Erica a gentle squeeze on the shoulder, "I know it sounds cliche, but... I'm sure Mary wouldn't want you to be this unhappy and upset over her."
"Definitely." Erica chuckled a bit, tears trickling down her cheeks, which she gently wiped away. "She was always such a sweetheart."
Rosalynn nodded in agreement.
Ivy, clutching her bunny doll, sleepily trudged downstairs, intending to make the most of the last days of summer break by snoozing in.
"I'll sit here for a bit, clear my head. You go look after Ivy," Erica said softly.
Rosalynn understood that Erica probably needed some time to herself.d2
So she nodded and went over to Ivy.
Cory, the early bird, had breakfast with Wayne, so Ivy had to eat on her own.
Rosalynn sat across from her, noticing her gloomy demeanor. "What's up? Didn't sleep well?"
Ivy was absentmindedly pushing the fresh berries around her plate. "Mommy, did I do something wrong? Liam's ignoring me."
Ever since coming back from Norhaven, Liam hadn't replied to any of Ivy's messages.
Rosalynn was taken aback, "He's ignoring you?"
Ivy looked dejected. "He didn't respond to any of my messages, whether it's about homework or just asking how he's settling in."
Hearing this, Rosalynn suddenly recalled that Liam hadn't responded to her last message either. But she had been so caught up with all the daily chores that she hadn't paid much attention to it.
"Liam just moved there, he probably has a lot on his plate. Maybe he just hasn't had the time," Rosalynn tried to soothe her.
"But what if he just doesn't like me anymore and doesn't want to talk to me?" Ivy looked up at her mom. She’s been cherishing every friend she had made since moving back to the H Country.
More so, Liam had saved her life and helped her improve her studies, even getting her to be the top of her grade.
To her, Liam was really, really important.
