Ivy Mae’s Struggle and Dream Sequence
Ivy Mae had been running from her grief for so long. She had taken care of everything, made sure Jas was safe, and carried on as though she could outrun the pain of her past. But as the journey dragged on and time blurred, the grief she had suppressed began to catch up with her.
One night, as the winds howled through their shelter, Ivy Mae lay awake in her bed, exhausted but unable to sleep. Her mind kept circling back to the faces of her sons, to the loss of Liam and Luke, and the unanswered questions about Crystal. Sleep finally overcame her, but it was not a restful slumber. Instead, she was pulled into a chaotic dream—a vivid, surreal memory of everything she had lost.
