Fandom Wackiness strikes again

Spending a weekend dealing with drunken podiatrists would have been taxing at any time. Doing it while dealing with a constant desire to be doing things with her boyfriend that shouldn't be mentioned in polite company? Hell.

But somehow, mostly because when she wasn't dealing with podiatrists, she was doing unmentionable things with Wyatt, Isabel survived. She just didn't sleep much.

Recovering from a lack of weekend sleep was probably the reason Isabel overslept on Tuesday morning and had to dash out the door to make it to her summer class on time. After class she hit the gym, then met a friend from school for a long lunch. All that meant it was mid-afternoon before she returned home and checked her email.

"Crap."

Isabel couldn't imagine what had happened that would cause Parker to bolt, especially when she was supposed to be leaving at the end of the week. They hadn't talked since Isabel had made her quick trip over to fix the shoes. Somehow when she called, she always got Parker's voicemail. But Parker had responded to her emails, a few short notes that assured Isabel that she was fine. Not that Isabel believed it. Still, she didn't push, unable to think of what to tell Parker that didn't revolve around questioning if it was all really worth it.

Relieved that she didn't have to work that night, a quiet and worried Isabel set her laptop aside and curled up on her couch to brood.

Isabel wasn't counting the days til Spring Break, no, she had it measured down to the hour. She'd survived mid-terms, but there was still the regular work that needed to be done for classes. It seemed like that never ended.

Pushing her books aside, she reached for her phone. She could call Bel back and see if he'd come down off the NyQuil high. But instead she hit the speed dial and waited to see if Wyatt would pick up. It's not that she really believed he was going to go evil. But she was still worried about him.

Besides, she had to ask him a question.

As the night wore on, Isabel couldn't help but wish for the weirdness to be over. She was tired, her hand hurt and Fork kept skulking about. She was fairly certain he was either looking for another drink, this time straight from her neck or a chance to get past her and out into the city.

Eventually, as the sun came up, Isabel relaxed enough to fall into a light sleep on the sun room couch. Her last thought was a wish that when she woke up, she'd have her boyfriend back.

After spending the week worrying about Savannah and trying to get a particularly annoying paper done, Isabel was thrilled when Wyatt invited her to spend the weekend in San Francisco.

Taking advantage of his grandfather being out of town to have a few days to themselves? Never...

After a late night, Isabel was still half asleep when she climbed out of bed, pulled on one of Wyatt's t-shirts, and quietly went in search of the coffee maker, wondering if Wyatt would enjoy breakfast in bed.

Little did she know, their weekend plans were going to change...
