Who: Isabelle Lightwood and Simon Lewis What: Date When: Super backdated to after this Where: Takis, then movie night at his place
A date with Simon was not at all what Isabelle expected when she returned from being back home. She had been mostly fine with being friends with him here, but when she went home and Raphael's sister made the comment about them making a good couple, it hit Isabelle harder than she had expected. She hadn't really intended to tell Simon what was bothering her, but he kept pressing, so she told him. He'd taken it better than she had expected... a lot better considering they were about to go on a date now.
Isabelle wasn't usually shy with guys, but Simon wasn't the typical guy. She wouldn't have even said anything if she was going to string him along until she got bored like she did with most guys--she had more respect for both him and Clary for that. She really liked Simon and that alone terrified her. She was trying to get past it, she'd have to now.
Since Simon was picking her up, once she was ready, she went to sit on the Institute steps to wait for him.
