Her phone rang.
Avery had called her after seeing her message, so Ivy immediately answered. "Mom, we've arrived. We are at the hotel waiting for our food to be served right now." "Edelweiss is in a different tzone. Are you feeling okay?" "I slept on the plane, so I feel alright." Relieved, Avery said, "Good. Remember to eat healthily, and make sure that your food is thoroughly cooked.

"Uncle Mike, don't you feel cold?" Ivy asked.
"No! Do you?" Worried that she might be feeling cold, Mike reached out for her hand and was relieved when he realized that her hand was warm.
"You aren't wearing a jacket," she said.

That's the best spot to view the aurora because its reflection will show on the surface of the lake... It's super pretty." Ivy nodded. "Uncle Mike, you have been friends with Mom for years, right?"
