Chapter 236: Ivy

Tuesday. Logan's Apartment. Washington, DC.

IVY SAT WITH HER legs curled under her in the big armchair. The doctor had been in to check on her again. She was no longer suffering from hypothermia, yet her insides were numb. Kelsey said she was likely still in shock or something. All Ivy knew was that Piers was gone and she was alone.

She'd never been able to find him or the car. Not by herself or when Logan and the others jumped in to help her search. She'd have kept going if they hadn't hauled her out. She'd been too tired to fight them by that point. She couldn't struggle anymore, so she'd given in.

Damn it. She should have kept fighting.

"Ivy?"

She lifted her chin and looked across Logan's living room at him and Zora.

He nodded at the untouched cup of coffee in front of Ivy. "You going to drink that?"

"Sure." She reached for the cup mechanically.

"I don't think this is helping," Zora said under her breath.
