The moment those words left her lips, the atmosphere seemed to freeze, a chill spreading through the room.

Isabel stood there while staring at Xander's cold expression, reflecting on her actions. She had left him at the restaurant to rush after Seff. Looking back, it was a thoughtless move. "Uh, how can I make it up to you?"

Xander stayed silent, his eyes avoiding hers, the tension thick between them.

The room was heavy with stillness, Samuel, the third party caught in the middle, watched awkwardly, feeling more anxious

than either of them.

After what felt like an eternity of silence, Isabel debated waiting until Xander calmed down before speaking again.

I guess I'll just go then, she muttered.

She gave a quick wave toward him, her steps already leading her toward the door. The idea of trying to fix things tomorrow already weighed on her mind.

Xander's expression remained hard, but his gaze snapped to her, eyes narrowing with barely contained frustration.

Is she really going to leave without even trying to make amends?

"Stop!"

Isabel froze mid-step, then slowly turned back toward him, a flicker of hope igniting in her chest. Maybe it isn't as bad as I thought.

She hurried back over to him, relief mingling with her anxiety.

I really didn't mean to leave you behind. You don't know Seff. When he's in one of his moods, he just acts without thinking. I had to chase him, or he'd have run a red light! Something bad could have happened if I hadn't followed him!" Isabel's words spilled out, a bit exaggerated, but there was no dishonesty in her tone.

"He proposed to you, Xander interrupted in a cold voice, his gaze steady on her. "On Valentine's Day of all days. That was what really bothered him

"I need to explain. First, I had no idea today was Valentine's Day. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone out with him. And second, I didn't expect him to suddenly confess like that. He does this all the time! He doesn't listen to me. I just told him I don't feel that way about him, but he said that's my problem, and he has his own ideas about it. What was I supposed to do?"

Isabel spoke from the heart, as honest as she could be, just as she had been before.

Xander's eyes narrowed slightly, a pause hanging in the air before he asked, "You didn't know today was Valentine's Day?"

"I didn't!" Isabel shrugged, nonchalant. I never really celebrated it, so why would I remember?"
