IVY’S PAST FEW WEEKS WEREN’T THE GREATEST and yet here she was at the lima bean acting like her usual perky self. sure, she was a horrible liar, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t be a phenomenal actress. all those lessons growing up weren’t for nothing. ever since getting caught by rory, then subsequently blowing up on both leo and julien, she’d been trying her best to keep a low profile. but with a few days distance, she was feeling confident enough to venture out of her house, visit her sister at work, and get a free coffee. it was a quick little outing really, just to test the waters before jumping back into what remained of her old life before this mess. the break up with leo still hurt, but all the drama happening offstage during mamma mia had been enough to momentarily pull her attention from the incessant dull ache that was losing a first love. she had been a mess, she was a mess, but she was optimistic it was all apart of some growth. at least, eli had convinced her it was. scampering about like her usual self felt both safe and restrictive, which told ivy maybe she wasn’t ready to be out and about just yet. a brief exchange with her big sister served her well, but she was happy to say goodbye just for the sake of getting back home and into the safety of her bedroom. ivy almost made it to her car without incident, but as she was moving into her own, a face she wasn’t exactly thrilled to see was hopping from a vehicle parked near hers. shoving down her grimace, ivy smiled and tried to approach this close proximity with a brave face, “hey. . .” an uncomfortable silence fell that ivy could only naturally think to fill with her voice, “i like, totally like your outfit.” a lie by the look of disdain painted across her features. trying to find a non awkward place to leave this conversation, she stupidly asked, “so what are you like. . . doing here?”
