Room 406, Wednesday evening.

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel had gotten back to her room after her adventure in the sewers and immediately left a message for Ronan telling him not to expect her for her usual visit. After this afternoon, being out after dark didn't seem like the wisest thing.

She wasn't sure she she'd been thinking going out like that. It was stupid in retrospect. Hell, she knew it was stupid even as she walked through the dark tunnels. But despite last night's conversation with Bel, she still wasn't certain sticking a soul back into Angel was the right thing to do. Just because they wanted their friend back, was it fair to saddle Angel with a new burden of guilt because of the people Angelus had hurt?

Still frustrated with herself for not keeping the promise she'd made to Angel so long ago, and feeling slightly guilty for being relieved that she didn't because it still meant there was a chance to get her friend back even if it wasn't fair to him, Isabel scooped up Annie and cuddled her on the bed, watching as the last of the afternoon light faded. She hoped tomorrow she wouldn't have a reason to regret what she didn't do today.

"You'll stay?" And not go out hunting for the psychotic vamp.

"Not going anywhere," Wyatt said, wrapping his arms around her.

Given the way Isabel clutched at his arms, he wasn't going to be able to. At least not without her knowing about it. "I'm glad you're here."

"Me, too," Wyatt said. "Wish I was with you earlier, though. . . ."

"I know," she said, slowly relaxing against him. "I was dumb."

Isabel yawned and closed her eyes. "Won't happen again."

"Better not," Wyatt said gruffly, stroking her hair as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Love you," she murmured as she fell into an uneasy sleep.

"Love you," he echoed, his arms never leaving her as they slept through the night.
