Las Vegas, late Monday night

[izzyalienqueen]

Her morning portal from Fandom to Vegas had been canceled so it was late by the time Isabel finally made it home. She hadn't slept since she'd left Vegas and exhaustion and grief were finally catching up to her. One wrong word and the careful control she was just barely hanging onto would be gone.

Her movements slow and deliberate, Isabel took a shower and made herself a cup of tea before retreating to her room to hide for the night. Glancing at her phone on her nightstand, she realized that she hadn't talked to Wyatt since they'd exchanged texts on Saturday.

It seemed so long ago.

He deserved a call, but that would require explanations of everything that had happened and Isabel wasn't sure she'd be able to do that without breaking down.

He kissed her forehead. "You should sleep," he said. "I'll be here when you wake up."

Isabel couldn't help but think of Sam then. And how he'd be waking up alone. It made her hold Wyatt that much tighter. "Love you," Isabel murmured before slipping into a restless sleep.

"Love you too," Wyatt said. He dozed a little, but for the most part he stayed awake through the night, just in case she woke up.
