Part 2: 4 2 1 (For you); Chapter 94: Getting to know you, Nick

After Marcel and Ray left reluctantly, Ivy and Nick were left alone in her grandma's house. That familiar feeling of home resurfaces in Ivy. She beamed watching the renovations and noticed the new sets of furniture laying around in the once empty leaky hall.

She walked further inside and was glad to be greeted by the old parts of the house. She crossed the hallway filled with pictures of her younger self and paused to touch her grandma's face in one of the pictures. They used to be stuck with magnet on the old refrigerator. She smiled and was glad that now there was a corner for all these memories by this previously lonely hallway.

Her fingers quickly worked their way to the aurora picture as they lingered not at the portrait of her family of three but on the frozen lake behind them. It reminded her of how surreal it felt in the chilly temperature, standing by its side and nearly falling into it before Jason's sturdy arms held her but she still couldn't figure out if in real life it was really him.

Nick's sturdy arms were then felt on her shoulder. "That must be your mother?" He asked.

Ivy smiled as her eyes darted to the woman standing by Peter. She shook her head. "My stepmother. The boys' mother, Auntie Lenny." She wondered at the same time if Nick would have any idea if Jason had really been here before.

"Just wondering, did Jason..." She caught herself pausing a moment at his name trying to control the abrupt sadness rising in her as Nick raised both eyebrows in anticipation of her question as she blinked.

"... told you before about his trip to someplace with Aurora or rather here?" She pointed to the picture as Nick squinted his eyes to recall.

Moments later, he shook his head as he watched Ivy's eyes look away in disappointment. "Why?" He asked out of curiosity as she walked to the kitchen contemplating to tell and decided to when she spotted the vast window which looked into the area behind the house where she once stood with Jason, completing her woodwork.

"Cause I tend to see him saving my younger self from falling into the frozen lake while I twirled under the aurora skies in excitement away from my parents during that trip." She explained while staring out the vast window imagining he was still standing there with open arms, waiting for her to run to him like she always do in her paracosm.

And that's where he once stood during his first visit to this house. Oh, how I wish you were still here, Jason. Ivy thought to herself.

Nick was a little surprised at her dream explanation to take any notice of the change in her expression.

"Oh... Perhaps you could check with his mother..." He said absentmindedly, forgetting that it was also a challenge for Ivy to face her.

"Daisy..." She mumbled her name as she recalled about her. "How is she?" Ivy asked as her gaze met with Nick who sighed.

He led her back to the main entrance given the sun rays were shining into the house as it gets more humid.

"She has been well taken care of by Mr. Rahi but I suppose the duo are on a fallout with Jeremy..." Nick explained as they stepped outside of the house. Ivy pondered on how deep was the issue with Jeremy's involvement.

It was bad enough with his grandma's accident and his illegal business. Now with another suspicion of his involvement in Jason and Nancy's accident, how much worse could it be?

Ivy was twitching her nose when she realise she was standing by the glass house when Nick was holding a pot of dandelion near her face, close enough to tickle her nose with a petal as she sneezed. The dandelion bloom floated away as Nick laughed while she giggled.

"Oops, looks like you just blew away your surprise..." He teased as Ivy chuckled.

"Who asked you to hold them so close to my face? It was itching my nose!" She scolded playfully while rubbing her nose as he laughed even more.
