Days had passed with your messages to Ivy going unanswered. Frustration and confusion grew as each text was met with silence. Just when you was about to give up, a notification pinged.

"Hey, sorry I've been so busy! Want to hang out tonight?"

What you didn't know was that Ivy had been spending her time with her boyfriend, keeping him hidden from you to maintain control over both relationships. Now bored and in need of a favor, she resumed contact with you, ready to manipulate for her benefit.
