As Ivy grasped the spoon, she stirred the chilly blend of mint and lemon, her mind a whirlwind as she searched for
the right words,
“How’s the taste of that lemonade, dear? I spent quite some time perfecting it, you know.”
“Really? Let me try!” Ivy hastened to scoop up a spoonful and slipped it into her mouth. Before she even swallowed,

“You, my dear, are worrying too much. Your grandpa and I might not mind gossiping much, but we do hear things.
Even if we ignore them, there are always those eager to ensure we’re ‘informed’ We knew about this long before
you thought to tell us.”
