Isaac shook his head. "She's a good friend, but... there's nothing there like that. And honestly? After getting blatantly used by Allison as a rebound and then two failed relationships in France, I'm not really looking for anything else. I'm pretty sure they're also a sign that I shouldn't be looking for anything at this point in my life."
A pause. "Though at least the two relationships in France weren't co-dependent as all hell. They did have that going for them."
Isaac, bitter? No, whatever gave you that idea?
"As for helping the others... I wanted them to have more of a support system than I'd had when I got left there."
