" Thank you , Monica ," she smiled and turned back to her reflection .

" Happy wedding day . " " Oh , " Ivy murmured , moved by the gesture .

" Thank you so much ." " It's the least we could do ," Monica beamed . " I'll keep it here for you to open later . " She placed the box gently on the table . " Thank you ," Ivy repeated , tears welling up in her eyes . " You're welcome , " Monica commented just as there was a knock on the door . " That must be your husband , " she added , moving to open it . Ivy felt her stomach knot , She wasn't ready to face Silas yet - not with all her emotions all over the place .

But when Monica opened the door , it wasn't Silas who walked in . It was her Aunt May , and she was holding a gift . " Aunt May ! " Ivy exclaimed , running into her arms . " Wow ! " May teased as she returned the hug . The moment May's hand reached her back , the tears Ivy had been holding back fell . She wept silently in her aunt's arms , controlled by her emotions .

" I'll be walking you down the aisle . " Ivy's chest squeezed at her aunt's statement .

It wasn't that she wasn't thrilled May was walking her down the aisle , it was that it brought out the sad fact that her father wouldn't be there to walk her down this time . " Oh , my sweet girl , " May said , pulling her into a hug . " I'm so sorry " " It's okay , " Ivy remarked , and smiled softly even though it wasn't . She was hurt that her father really wasn't coming , and obviously , nor was Cole . She turned to her aunt , pleased that she at least had one family member present .
