It had been a week since she had met Josh at the church and had experienced some lapse in her tough girl attitude. The feelings he gave her just by looking at her made her quiver, she liked the thought of having a friend but she was just not the type. A part of her hoped they would cross paths again, after he had read her note, but her barrier made her resist the urge to search for him. No one had ever had this affect on her before, where she actually wanted something more from it. That's were the drinking and gambling came in, she had been in and out of the Dixie Heart Pub every night since the two had met. It helped her cope with the weakness before a guy, she even had a drinking buddy in the form of an older woman who would stroll in from time to time, though Izzy knew her own limit while this lady did not the two managed to talk about the world and life, then Izabelle made sure the woman had gotten home alright when she reached a good stopping point. They never exchanged names.
Before this place and the incident that occurred months ago, Iz would have cheated men out of their money by pretending to be bad at cards or pool, then schooled them at the game like it was nothing, except for that one time a guy had managed to see through her tricks, but that was another story. This time she was hoping to stay here for a while before moving onto the next town. Gambling for fun was the way to go here, a few drinks and a good hand with some of the locals was actually kind of enjoyable though she would never admit it upfront. She loved the rush of beating drunks at their own game, but playing for the fun of it had it's joys too.
When the blonde grew tired of the cards and sent her drinking pal on her way she decided to play pool. She had played this game ever since she could remember, it required focus, aim, patience, and skill. Izabelle set up the billiards as she downed the last of her beer, eyes glanced around seeing if there was someone that wanted to join before she walked over to the other side and set up the cue ball. The petite woman made her way to the bar and asked for another beer and two shots. Once she got them she placed them on the table next to her game area. After taking one of her shots, she hissed at the burn and took her stance to strike the balls.
The sound of them clacking together was music to her ears, it almost had a calming affect on her. It made the troubles from a week ago melt away, it was just a passing fancy, Josh was not someone that would get involved with her. Her gaze was focused hard on the billiards before her as she started sinking them into the pockets, one after another. Izzy took a short break to walk to her drinks, that's when someone entering caught her attention.
