"Please open the door Ivy," Nathan says sliding against the door of her bedroom. 

She doesn't answer. After that night outside the restaurant she hasn't spoken to anybody. She had submitted a work from leave which Jack immediately granted after hearing about the incident. Nathan at first had thought she was traumatized by it but it was more than just that one incident. Ivy wasn't ready to speak to anyone, not just yet. The fact that she still had to clear things with Han and Nathan was long forgotten. She was numb with all the horrifying memories which came back like they never left her. 

Just when she had moved on in life, just when she was ready to love again. Today Nathan had let himself inside with her permission but she didn't say a single word. She just opened the door, turned around and left. All he caught was the bags underneath her eyes.
