I’M STARTING TO HAVE A NEW sense of appreciation for Ivy. It really is different when you’re on this end of things. My hands are sweaty and my heart is pounding so hard that I’m pretty sure my blouse is about to come unfastened.

I must’ve tried on four outfits this morning before I decided this one was appropriately toned down enough to meet Mr. and Mrs. Montclair. I don’t dress particularly sexy, but my clothes tend to be pretty avant-garde with lots of rips, tears, pins and unusual stitching. It’s not the type of thing you’d find at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Tristan is still on the computer and he’s currently Skype-ing with members of his team back at the office trying to track down leads on my dad. I know that I should be more appreciative of his efforts. Right now I’d like to kick that computer a few inches up his colon to get him to put it away so he can just hold me. I’ve graduated from just sweaty palms to actually trembling.

Marcus and Ivy have been in there a really long time. I don’t know what’s going on in there but whatever is happening is making Ivy hellaciously angry. I can feel sparks flying off her psychic energy like a welding machine.

I hate that I can’t go in there and help her right now. I can feel her reacting physically to whatever they are saying to her. Something big must’ve just happened because I just felt the energy crescendo and then wane.

Suddenly, I hear Ivy’s voice in my head, Get ready… it’s tense in here but we need to do this. It's just as I predicted. They are being very odd. I have to say it, as cool as it is, it still weirds me out that she could talk to me in my brain.

Yeah? It’s no picnic for me either.

Private thoughts would be nice.

So would winning the lottery, but it’s not ever likely to happen.

You’re so funny, I forgot to laugh.

Time to get serious here. I don’t know what’s going to happen once you guys come inside. I’ve never seen my mom become quite so distraught.

Remember, we’ve had a few months to get used to this, your parents haven’t. This came out of the blue for them.

You’re right. You’re still going to love me at the end of all of this, right? I have a feeling that it might not be pretty.

Manita, I specialize in gritty and tough, remember? I've got your back.

Tristan touches my shoulder and I startle, almost spilling my Dr. Pepper all over.

“Are you done having a conversation with your sister?”

“How did you know that’s what I was doing?” I ask, a little embarrassed to be caught.

“Don’t worry, it’s probably not obvious to anyone but me. You just get this intense expression of concentration on your face and you stare off into space for a minute.”

“Gah! That’s embarrassing,” I admit, blushing.

“So, what’s the verdict? Do they want us in there?”

I’m still half a beat
