"It's very nice, actually," Isobel replied matter-of-factly. Her eyes studied him as he went on about how everyone else had to live with her decisions. Really, she should have taken care of that when she compelled him to move on. Then again, Katherine remembered Isobel coming back to report to her so was it possible that Alaric hadn't actually lived that yet? Could he still be searching for her?
She took a couple of steps closer to him, though she knew that the closer she got the more dangerous the territory was for her. She'd gotten close to him the night before she arrived here and ended up telling him everything she felt. Sure, she'd compelled it all away and she could do it again, but who wanted to bother with that? "It's not like I asked this Peterson guy to bring you here and put you in my cabin. Maybe he did it to torture us--you." She hadn't actually meant to tell him that this was torture for her, but maybe she could cover it up somehow. If he even caught on.
