  LOS ANGELES

  IVY RIVERA APARTMENT : FEW DAYS LATER

  Ivy Rivera heard the sound of the doorbell. She frowned at wall clock because the time was just 6:20 a.m. She hopped out of bed and pulled a sweatshirt over her head and started down the stairs. It was too early for anyone to be here and she wasn't even expecting anyone.

  Ivy Rivera silently prayed that it shouldn't be a reporter this time. She peered through the hole on the door - It was Ace Clark’s figure on the porch. It passed through Ivy Rivera’s mind that she was hallucinating and that lack of sleep had finally tipped her over the edge. But Ace Clark was really there!

  And Ivy Rivera frowned deeply when she opened the door and saw him standing on the porch.

  “Ivy-“

  She cut him off. “Go away.” Ivy muttered and shoved at the door.
