"Okay," Izzy breathed softly, snuggling happily against his chest. She was glad he'd said that, because she did want to go with Brooke and she didn't want him upset over it. "I'll be back for New Years," she added, as though that should make some difference. "Can-can you get the night off?" she asked tentatively, almost shyly. She didn't want to start another fight, but she couldn't help asking. "I mean.. I know you have.. I just thought it might be nice to ring in the New Year together..."
She'd never been shy about asking for whatever she wanted before, almost demanding it even, but tonight... Her gaze was almost timid as she asked. Definitely not a usual look for her. They'd been fighting so much lately and.. She was half afraid asking that was going to start it back up again.
