"Thank you David. I don't think this is something you can help with." Ivy told him. She was unnaturally quiet on the walk back. For once she didn't talk nonstop. She didn't bounce or chace the animals. She barely looked up when a butterfly crossed her path. She took a seat as far from the campfire as she could.

David gnashed his teeth together. He absolutely hate [i]hate! HATED![/i] seeing Ivy like this! It wasn't right at all! After this event was over, he was going to have [i]words[/i] with someone!

"Ugh," he sighed, slumping his shoulders. Yeah, no. That wouldn't do jack-squat. His inability to do anything was gut-wrenching.
