Honestly, we really were miserable. None of this was in our control, though. Chase turned out to be a complete psychopath, and Nala decided to sacrifice herself to protect her company.

"Hey," she said. "I actually found one of those pregnancy test things in my mother's bedroom while cleaning."
"O-oh…" My voice came out a little shaky. "Wow. So… she's pregnant?"
"I confronted her," Ivy replied. "She said she had no idea how those got there. I told her I didn't believe her. You don't just take a test for no reason."
"She actually took it?"
"Yeah. And no, she's not pregnant." Ivy gave a small shrug. "She swears she doesn't know where they came from. Thinks it was some kind of prank."
Fucking Mana. There was no way I could explain that to Ivy, though. I'd just let it go for now and deal with Mana later, if she ever showed up again. I had too many questions for her.
