Room 406, evening

[izzyalienqueen]

After a the hectic pace of the last few weeks, Isabel was grateful for some downtime, even if it meant she had too much time to think about fun with the kids and saying goodbye.

But things were slowly returning to normal. She'd covered library, had breakfast with Cedric, spent time with friends, and fulfilled StuCo responsibilities. Looking at the two packages sitting on her desk, Isabel realized that some things had slipped through the cracks. She made two phone calls then settled down to do some studying.

"True. But at least you have a chance. With what I need to do?" Isabel shrugged. "Probably not so much. But I'm looking at the bright side. In at least two realities, I did get a pretty happy ending. I can live with that."

"Is it set in stone that you won't get that here?"

"In August I'm going to try to get back to Antar," she explained. "I'm not sure how yet, but if I do, well, I don't see kids and a white picket fence in my future."

"Ah," she says slowly, and she really doesn't like seeing Isabel head off again. "Why August?"

"That's when the timelines should sync up again. At least I hope," Isabel said. "I was there for about six months, then came backwards to here. So hopefully in August, I can try and contact them without any wierd time paradoxes."

"I wish you the best of luck with that," she says seriously.

"Thanks, I appreciate it," she said sincerely.

"I should be going," she says. "Thank you again."

"Yup. Happy Birthday again though," Isabel smiled.
