Ivy's face fell slightly. She had imagined they might go somewhere outdoors... somewhere that resembled how dates used to be before the apocalypse stole normalcy away... but she forced herself to accept it.
'It's still fine,' she thought, pushing away her disappointment.
To say Ivy didn't have some expectation for her date would be a lie. She regretted not saying yes to Silas before the apocalypse.
Maybe then... they might have the chance to have a normal date... like watching movies and having lunch... sigh... it could only be a dream now!
When they arrived at Silas's house and stepped inside, Ivy immediately noticed the darkness blanketing every corner.
She blinked in confusion. Just as she began wondering what on earth was going on, Silas gently guided her into the living room... only for Ivy to freeze in astonishment.
