After her trip to town, Isabel returned to her room and left a message for Meg. That done, she settled back on her bed to reread her Angelica Desmesnes novels in preparation for the new book coming out in January. It was also a nice distraction from any of the other events of the week.

The door was open.

"Movie night?" Anders asked hopefully. "I love movie nights with you. They're educational and fun. But I can hear Willow now telling me I should read the book too . . . damn, I should check up on her."

It was mildly vexing, how even the levity of the moment could get tainted somewhat even with Angelus behind bars.

"Maybe this weekend. I'm pretty sure I have the Muppet version somewhere in my collection," she offered.

If asked, Isabel would say she understood that feeling perfectly. "I keep hoping radio's going to say she woke up and is perfectly fin, ready to do the spell."

"I keep hoping it's going to say everybody woke up this morning and Angel had his soul back," Anders replied, "but either way is just too easy to happen, isn't it?"

"Unfortunately yeah," Isabel sighed. "But it will. Somehow." Because the people involved were too stubborn to just give up.
