Room 406, late afternoon

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel wasn't certain what time she finally got home after prom night. All she knew was it was late and she was exhausted from dancing and excitement.

It was after twelve when she finally woke up, and much later when she finally got off the phone with her mother. Diane Evans had enjoyed hearing all the details about prom, and now that she finally knew the truth about her daughter, she liked hearing stories about her friends.

After finally hanging up the phone, Isabel opened the door to her room and stretched out on her bed to read, stopping occasionally to smile at the tiara on her desk.

[ooc: Door and post are open.]

"Apparently I've been coping on my own all along," Isabel shrugged. "I think we'll be fine."

Jack froze, halfway to the door, and looked back at them. "Yeah, I guess you have," he said sadly.

Isabel winced and got to her feet. "Sorry," she said, walking over to hug him. "Just a little surprised. It's not your fault."

"It's okay," he replied, hugging her back, watching Alexandria over her shoulder, who was watching them with interest. "And you're right, you did raise her alone. You did a good job, though."

"Thanks, probably blind luck though." She squeezed him once more, because he couldn't be blamed for something that might or might not happen in the future. "You better go. We're going to stay here and make ourselves pretty."

"I'm gone." He waved bye to Alexandria, then took himself off to find the rest of his brood, who were both more and less disturbing than Isabel's daughter.
