Friday dawned on Hiddenburg beautifully. The day was bright and clear, with no clouds in the skies at all. In Graya, aka 2ndMilas, Ivy lay in her bed with mixed emotions. Her mood was anything but bright, unlike the beautiful day that had encouraged most people to get out of their homes. Many people preferred to enjoy the outdoors before the winters set in, so they made full use of rare sunny autumn days like those for outings.
On the contrary, Ivy had stayed in bed for almost a whole week after her date with Charles and engagement confirmation.
Ivy felt so miserable that she cried her heart out in her room and refused to see anyone. Initially, her parents, Josh, and Lucy Magwort, tried to understand her, but by the fourth day, they were getting irritated instead, especially her mother.
