Its been 3 days since Ivy had last talked to Lily . Nobody knew what was so important that she coudnt even tell her own best friend or anyone.Ivy got a text at 1:32 in the afternoon from Lily, saying she and James was on a vacation to make up for lost time, when Ivy replied asking where she was she didn't get an answer. She was now kind of pissed to be honest, I mean anyone would be a little pissed in a situation like this. One evening lily comes and says her husband might be cheating and the next day they go on a vacation together...., Married people are be a bit confusing at times.....

Ivy hasn't gone to work for the last few days, she was tired from all those all-nighters and over time days she had in the last week , and now the situation with lily and James, all together she needed a few days off, from everything. Toady was the day she would go back to work and start in the new case that has popped up last week. It was probably something usual like a drug case or something.

It was Monday now and Ivy had gone to work as usual, it was a usual day for her. While driving back home, she stopped at the grocery store. She was walking down the diary aisle trying to grab milk when all of a sudden she felt something wrap around her right leg

When she looked down she saw a small girl of dirty blonde curls looking back at her with tears in her eyes. The girl couldn't possibly be any older than 2, her cerulean blue was breath taking , it now it was filled with tears for some reason. When ivy asked her what happened the young girl could make out words. Ivy assumed she was probably separated from her family. She knew how scary and terrifying that can be, and that too as a young as this girl is

Ivy crouched down to her height and picked her up and sat her in the bench next to her.

"Hey , its okay, shh its okay. I'm not gonna hurt you, what's your name sweetheart?" Ivy calmly asked the young girl now that her cries have been turned into sniffles and hiccups .

The cerulean blue eyes stared back at her , her dirty blonde curls wildly falling onto her face, Ivy softly tucked some of her behind her ear

"Em-emily"

The girl somehow managed to make out her name through tears and sniffles. Ivy smiled back at her and said "That's a really beautiful name Emily , you have a really pretty name; how old are you Emily ?"Ivy asked with a sweet smile

"th-wee"

Oh. But she seems too small for her age. "Okay Emily , how bout we sit here and wait until someone comes and finds you, or maybe you wanna go to the front desk and we can call your parents? Do you know their phone numbers honey?"

Emily shook her head as if to say no.

"That's okay , how bout we sit here and wait until your paren-" Ivy was cut short by a frantic looking man in a pair of boring grey sweatshirt and joggers runs up to Emily and snatches her away from Ivy.

"Oh my, thank god Emily, your father would've killed me if I lost you. You know not to run in public, how many times should I tell you that?" The man trying to speak in a calm tone to the girl. the girl, now snuggled into the warmth of the man chest quietly whispered a " I'm sowwy Babi"it was a muffled apology because of the girl's head being snuggled deep into the man's neck. the man was rocking the girl , in an attempt to calm the poor girl down.

The man turned around to face Ivy, she knew who he was. the all too familiar blue eyes and caramel hair. It was Adam .

"Oh  my God Ivy, thank you for looking after her, I cannot imagine what would've happened if i lost her" Adam ranted out as he took a sigh of relief

"No need to thank me, I couldn't just ignore a little girl crying, after all it is pretty scary to be lost in a grocery store even as a adult"

"I'm grateful that she ran to you and not some creepy stranger..." Adam said in a thankful manner. Emily looked up from Adams shoulder and smiled at Ivy.

"So this the Emily you were talking about  at the bar that night" Adam hummed in response "This is the cheeky little devil I was talking about " 

"Emily say hi to Ivy"

"Hello" came an adorable voice looking at Ivy through her curls, with her eyes shining like crystals."She's adorabale" Ivy said looking into the blue orbs.

"Hear that Em? What do you say to Ivy?

"Fank you" the little girl or Emily said in a whisper , still a bit shaken.

"I should probably get going now, if it gets too late with this princess , Scott is gonna kill me" Adam says with the chuckle , but anyone could hear the seriousness in his voice

"I'm leaving too  , don't wanna miss the re-runs of friends tonight" Ivy replies  with a chuckle as well as they both walk out the store after checking out their things

"Oh no, Why God? Why today?" Ivy whined as she saw her car being towed away 

Adam just burst out laughing there. Emily was now in Adams car and sleeping peacefully, not having a clue to the world. "IT'S NOT FUNNY" Ivy glared at the man who was now clutching his stomach from how hard he's laughing. "Oh come on, its a little funny" "doesn't seem little from the way you're laughing, so how am i going to get home now?" Ivy said with the playful glare but the latter was an issue and he knew it. "How bout I drive you to my house and we'll drop Emily there, and then we can go get your car back."Adam said opening the door for Ivy to get in "Well  there isn't much options now is there, and  guess we could pay a little visit for your house after all."

"You seem to care more about the house than me" Adam said with a very much fake jealousy

"That's because the house has more value than you" Ivy said as she was getting in the car. Adam huffed and threw a playful glare to Ivy , who just didn't seem to mind the glare.
