Ivy swallowed hard and quickly retraced her steps to the exit, her cheeks burning with embarrassment people seated in the reception

She stepped outside and hurried toward the car

“Are you alright?” Bud asked as she slid in

“Yes” by sad, swallowing as she tried to catch her breath.

She couldn’t believe it—Rita had denied knowing her which was unheard of Yet, she couldn’t shake off the feeling that Rita might be in danger. The thought that Rita had been in San Francisco for five years without visiting Aunt May was. appalling

A thought crossed her mind, and she turned to Victor. “Would you mind waiting a moment?”

Bud raised his brow from the passenger seat is everything alright, ma’arri?”

“Yes, yes” she nodded quickly just need you to follow someone”

“Alright, Bud said. He turned to Victor “Move the car somewhere hidden”

Victor maneuvered the car to a spot in the garage. From where they were, they could see the entrance of the hospital without being spotted immediately.

Ivy texted Silas, letting him know she was going to be a little late, just in case Theresa mentioned seeing her

Silas replied immediately: Where are you going?

She had no answer, so she didn’t respond. Immediately she set her phone down, Rita walked out of the hospital

It was then Ivy really looked at her. Rita wore a black hoodie and trousers, her hair tied in a messy bun Ivy’s heart broke as the pain of Rita’s denial sank in..

Rita was seven years older, but that had never stopped them from being close. Ivy had spent her childhood holidays at Aunt May’s house before her uncle’s death.

Walter’s death had drawn a wedge between May and her children, and when Vera, Rita’s younger sister had died, it possibly had ruined what was left between May and Rita.

“Follow her,” Ivy said, pointing to Rita who was walking really fast.

“Alright, ma’am” Victor replied, starting the car.

They waited until Rita left the hospital premises before beginning to follow. She was on foot, which meant she likely lived nearby. But that knowledge came with the pain of realizing that Rita had intentionally avoided her mother and their family for five years.

They followed her, watching as Rita continued on foot heading over Sanibel Street. She kept her hands tucked in her hoodie, and continuously glanced behind her.

Ivy leaned forward, her eyes darting round Rita. Nobody seemed to be following her, but Rita’s body movements screamed discomfort.

What was she hiding? Who was she hiding from?

It was when Rita took a narrow pathway leading to a bridge did ivy actually begin to freak out. Her chest clenched as she realized Rita had parked her car miles away from the hospital and gone there on foot.

Was she not staying close? Ivy wondered.

“Let’s follow her please” she said, her voice slightly shaking.

“Drive down Mela Road and go left, Bud told Victor. “We should see her.”

Victor nodded as he drove. Thankfully, they saw Rita as she was about to enter a small black Honda.

Victor slowed the car and they waited. Ivy watched Rita throw a piece of paper from her windscreen, before getting into her

As soon as Rita started driving, they immediately followed her. Ivy’s mind swirled as different thoughts swirled in her head

Was Rita in trouble? Was she running from something? Hiding from someone?

None of her questions made sense.

Ivy bit her lip, settling into the chair as Victor come to unum. A mat felt like a long time, Rita finally turned towards Mill Valley

Mill Valley was a cozy town with serene vibes and cute shops. Ivy knew Mount Tamalpais was nearby—her mother had taken her and Cole sightseeing there when they were kids.
