Ink And Ivy – Ashley Willingham

Not that it mattered now. 1,500 gold pieces. Bastian’s enormous sum stamped itself on her thoughts again, intent on mocking her. She might as well purchase all the dresses her heart desired at this point. Perhaps she’d take to parading around in fine clothing in the middle of the woods, just like Mr. Vael. Though she’d do so with a good deal less elegance than he, to be sure. Ivy sighed. The truth. She needed to tell the truth.

“I did forget,” she quietly confessed. “I’m sorry. I’ve had a lot on my mind lately. It’s not a good excuse, but it’s the only excuse I have.” Daphne’s ears twitched. The faun exchanged a quick glance with Marigold. Mari smiled. “Well, that’s perfectly all right. You will look lovely in whatever you choose to wear to the party. And we would love for you to come with us to the tailor’s all the same, would we not, Daphne?

I understand Miss Elodie will be coming in to have a fitting as well, so we can make an afternoon of it.” The mere mention of the sweet-natured little girl brought a genuine spark of warmth to Ivy’s chest, offering her the prospect of a friendly face. But the name also brought with it a sinking sensation in her right pocket.

Once again, she was acutely aware of the solid gold timepiece resting against her hip. It seemed to grow heavier by the second, threatening to drag her under completely. Her thoughts started to spiral again. What did it mean? Why had he given it to her? Her fingers twitched at her side.

Perhaps she ought to give it to Elodie during the fitting? To return it to her father later tonight? Yes. That was exactly what she should do. She would simply hand it over to Elodie. Marigold was undoubtedly right—the H.G. engraved alongside C.V. surely stood for his parents’ initials.

Not the usual early-morning clatter of baking pans or Marigold’s bright humming drifting up through the floorboards, but the sound of many voices rising and falling in an agitated drone. Like the buzzing of so many bees. Ivy blinked herself awake, her mind still fuzzy with sleep.
