The day after Ivy returned to her mother's home, Henry Sullivan came by for a visit.
Ivy's mom didn't know why Ivy suddenly came back home.
Ivy told her she wanted to experience what it's like to come home with a kid in tow.
But her mom felt something was off until the next day when Henry stopped by. Then she realized that the two kids had a fight, as her son-in-law kept gauging her daughter's mood.
It was rare because at home, her husband never cared about her mood. For someone like Henry, who was very similar to her husband and had a military background, it was a wonder he was even paying attention to others' moods.
Henry left after lunch, and once he was gone, Ivy acted like nothing was wrong and returned to her room. Her mom followed her in. Seeing Ivy sitting on the bed, obviously burdened with thoughts, didn't seem like her daughter at all.
Seeing her mom come in, Ivy forced a smile, "Mom, why did you come in?"
"Can't I come in to play with my granddaughter for a bit?"
