Isabelle wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead with her white handkerchief and watch with great interest as his jaw clench and unclench. 'Bronsilaw' She knew that's what he must be thinking about,Bodgan relax and cock his head. "As you can see I'm bedridden" He said softly " But I don't need you to be here,I just want you to be safe no matter how strong you are" "I am, believe it or not but I'm doing well" "How's the case with Emeryk and dagmara?,have you found anything?" "Not one thing but I'm close to getting to dagmara" Isabelle clasp her hand on his,tightening it like she's scared of letting go "I've a feeling for the first time in ages that...dad is watching,he's here " Bodgan flinch and draw Isab

"Thank you,I like that you're our neighbor".Isabelle said the opposite of her thoughts." You're beautiful too".Margaret blush shyly. "You should come by later or I'm gonna come crashing your house down". Margaret sang,Isabelle force a smile. "Consider that joke". Margaret burst into laughter and Isabelle was again forced to join,she exhale in super relief when the elevator opened releasing her from her elevator torture. "Hey,I'll be expecting". "Yeah sure".Isabelle answer absentmindedly and walk away only to be dragged back by a muscular hand. "You ran?". Isabelle chuckle,she couldn't help it first she got into an elevator with a crazy woman with a thing for white and bumped into her worst nightmare. MR MACK. "What's so funny?stop laughing".

"I know right?But hey didn't know there was a tiny mussel of brain in there,we've thirty minute left,will you go take a look at the rooms? just to be sure."Isabelle whisper and sit on the available sofa not far from dagmara,Xander kiss dagmara cheeks and left,Isabelle eyes trail to the door,she stood up to lock it and walk back to the bed. "Hey."She trace dagmara soft face and play with the brown hair. "How many years have you been here aunt?,how many more years do you've to live to end all this?." Isabelle ask in a tiny voice.

"He has ocean blue eyes and a golden hair' she says,mom was happy I took dad grey eyes and black hair,she regrets often but untill when I came home on my seventeenth birthday with a dyed hair,she smiled genuinely for the first time." "She loved you just the way you are."Isabelle sigh hardly believing Debra would regret over having a son like Xander. "She just wished you were all there,I'll tell you a secret,one I never told anyone." Xander raise his brow and sip his wine surprised at the turn their conversation is taking. "I feel special."

Her eyes caught the sight of a large table with wine on each sides like a feast is being held and in the middle foods forming the letter 'F'. She swallowed when she saw Xander,his head buried in the dishes,trying to get something out of the plates,Isabelle retraced her step and couldn't help chuckling noting his seriousness. "Ma'am have you ever been to the garden?"Isabelle recognized the voice as that of Pola and frown slightly. "I suggest you go there tonight,the weather is said to be chilly tonight,I'll bring you some tea" "Bring the tea Pola,I don't take suggestions"Isabelle said and sit back on the couch. "Besides I'm not needed there" "I'm sorry ma'am" "Don't you get it?,I want to be alone" Isabelle snap,Pola nodded and left,Isabelle groan when her phone rang giving her a jolt. "Hey" "It's Sasha, am I disturbing?" "No,carry on" Isabelle answer coldly. "Are you okay?" "I am,just say whatever you wanna say."
"You ate eggs there?unbelievable" Xander chuckle breaking one Into a pan. "You never enjoyed it fried" "That was then Xander and remember you cooked it" Isabelle lean on the cabinet with a smug smile. "What do you mean? Ms. Mack,you've to know that your comment is unacceptable and hurtful" Isabelle burst into laughter at his struggle to look hurt. "I'm not kidding" He feign annoyance. "Okay,I'm sorry husband,why don't I give you something that's gonna sooth that anger" Isabelle stride to him,he let go of what he is doing and cock his head. "Close you eyes and open your mouth husband" "Okay,wifey"Xander close his eyes,Isabelle dip her hand into the mixed egg and feed it to him,His eyes open in shock and he fake a gurgle, Isabelle giggle and ran to the door. "This is awful" "That's how you make it husband" "I never make it this way Wifey,I'm gonna get back at you for this" Xander squeeze his face and gait towards her. "Woah,calm do
"Why?Isabelle I liked you when..." "I heard,thank you and I appreciate but I believe that's a lie,I know you Bronsilaw,one woman doesn't satisfy you" "That was then" "Then,I came to you guys running away from Xander at least give the guy a chance in my life before they take it" Isabelle roll her eyes heavenward. "And I keep telling you I like you as a brother" "That's bullshit" "I know,but that's how I like you"Isabelle mutter and pick a chicken lap. "Anyone up for exchange?" "Me." Greta and Maja both scream and take it from her,Bronsilaw heart tore into pieces just like always,she'd always tell him he would never get the chance but something in him tells him not to give up and he won't,he'll pursue her till the end. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Triplicate" Aukey step into a smoke filled room.
