As Ivy’s thoughts drifted to the unsettling images she’d seen earlier, her expression soured, her fingers tightening around the stems of the flowers she was absentmindedly arranging.

Alyssa noticed the change in Ivy’s demeanor and asked with a chuckle, “Ivy, if you keep at it with that strength, you’re going to snap those poor flowers!”

“Huh?” Startled, Ivy realized she had nearly ruined Alyssa’s cherished potted plant and blushed with embarrassment, “Alyssa, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to…”

Alyssa smiled and took the trowel from Ivy’s hand, “It’s just a plant, dear. But what’s bothering you? What’s got you so occupied?”

“Oh, nothing!” Ivy forced a smile nervously, “Just got a bit distracted by some celebrity gossip, that’s all.”

Alyssa clearly didn’t buy the explanation but didn’t press further, turning her attention back to the potted fern in front of her, “Ivy, remember, things aren’t always what they seem. You can’t always take what you see in the media at face value, it’s important to hear the other side of the story before you jump to conclusions.”

Ivy pondered over Alyssa’s words.
