Isobel leaned against the wall, sighing. “I can’t do anything about your rib, though..”

Alice rubbed at her sore stomach. "I think it should be fine." She unconsciously drew her finger across her scar, thinking. Finally, she hobbled back to the couch to put her shirt back on.

Isobel watched her, rubbing tiredly at her eyes and wondering how on earth she could have gotten into this situation. "If you say so."

Alice turned to Isobel. "I should probably leave." She met Isobel's gaze keeping her expression neutral.

Isobel sighed, looking her over. "I can't exactly stop you… are you going home, then?"

Alice hesitated. "Of sorts." She collected her things, mulling things over. "Anyway. Have a good week?"

Isobel didn't fail to notice her hesitation. "Won't I see you before then?"

Alice's face brightened, though she tried to hide it. "Up to you."

Isobel tried for a smile, though she was inexplicably exhausted. “For sure. Come by tomorrow…. through the lobby, preferably.”

Alice nodded slowly. Without saying a word, she left the apartment. She walked down the stairs, out the building and to the park. It was deserted.

Isobel heaved another long sigh, head spinning. She sat down heavily on the couch, trying to place her emotions.
What am I going to do? I’ve got a funeral in a week, all the way in Montreal, and a stalker? A very injured one?

Alice roamed the park, stopping at every other bench. It was a very nice night, warm and a little humid. She stopped at the far corner of the park, the corner farthest away from all entrances, the corner where almost nobody ever came.
And sat down on a bench. She lay her extra clothes out beneath her and lay down.

(aw Alice)

Isobel heard a soft whining coming from beneath the couch, and all of a sudden, horror struck her. Eddie She was immediately down on her knees, gently coaxing the frightened puppy out from beneath her sofa and into her arms. Alice must have scared him.. oh god how could I have forgotten??

Alice quietened down, staring at the grass. Water shone under the moonlight— it must have rained.
She listened to her breathing, calming her heartbeat, trying to relax. She felt herself nodding off.

(sure, train it is)

Isobel zipped up her small suitcase, running a hand through her messy hair and double checking that she had everything with her.

Alice woke up at around 6 in the morning. She wanted to fall back asleep, but soon heard the heavy footsteps of the police officers patrolling the area. She jumped to her feet, easily ducking behind a thick bush.

Yawning, she dragged the suitcase out the door and into the elevator, having given Eddie over to a dog sitter the past night. Most of what she’d packed had been funeral attire and her script for the speech she was making, and in the rush, she’d almost forgotten to tell Alice where she was going.

Alice knelt behind the bush, praying the officer would just wander by. As she peeked through the leaves, she realized that, in her haste, she'd forgotten her coat. She swore and leaned back sightly only to catch on something hard.
"Well, missus," said the police officer.

(oh damn)

Isobel barely remembered how Alice had taken the news, she'd been way too exhausted, but at least she knew. A half hour later, she arrived at the station, dragging her suitcase through the bustling crowds to the front.
