Clark: gone. She'd gotten over it, the age gap was too large under normal circumstances and he'd never been interested in her at all until the Seal plucked them up from different years and dropped them back in 2012 for two weeks. Izzy told herself that there was no point in pining over him because if he'd wanted her that much, he would've found a way to make it work in the time they did have. ...and then there was Hugo Weasley.
Hugo: gone. That one was still smarting. He was from a different world and even if their years had been closer to the same and the age gap wasn't really there, he was from a universe where Harry Potter was not fictional and Izzy...well. She was not.
So, maybe it was just time to call it done. Feeling people leave the Force was always a deep-cutting wound and Ismara always took it especially hard when it had been a strong presence in the Force — Like Ella; Like Hugo — and so, because wallowing alone had never really been her forte, Izzy did what she'd been doing for a while, now, with the weird multiple universe travel just as much on her side as against it. She went to the Ainsley-Kents and when Darcy sent her upstairs, she shifted awkwardly in front of Conner's door before finally knocking. Unexpectedly, Conner Ainsley, of all people, had become sort of a surrogate best friend. She hadn't expected to get along with him at all and yet here she was, proactively reaching out to him first in her upset and pain.
