"Yeah, it is a shame." Isabella was totally in agreement with her friend on the topic of exchange. "I think everyone should spend some time abroad. It's a wonderful experience..."
"You think so?" Isabella reexamined the dress again. She thought maybe it might be a little too much for school but never risque. "I wonder if Al would like it..." She grinned slightly. "I still think I might get it. It would be great for vacation or when the weather is warm again. I need some white in my wardrobe too."
"What color do you think?" Isabella browsed through a few more dresses. "Teal maybe? Black is too depressing..." Color was something she always had a hard time deciding on. "What about you? Which dresses do you like?"
"Maybe you could come with us..." Isabella pulled out a green dress and held it up to her friend so she could get a better look. "I mean I don't want to make any promises, because I don't know how things will be in a few months..." Things weren't exactly going great with her parents. "I could not end up going."
There were many things about the vacation that were up in the air. "I mean my parents mentioned inviting my ex and his family too." She had to admit that would be perfectly uncomfortable. "If I do go I don't want to go alone... But, I don't even know if they'll let me bring anyone with me." Bringing Albus was definitely out of the question too.
