That would make it worth it. That would make Isabella's annoyance, frustration, and dramatic monologue feel useful. Not just another harsh lecture that went in one ear and out the other.

She probably wasn't mad. She wasn't like the type to stew in anger. She was more of a quiet sadness kind of girl. The kind that smiles at you like everything's fine, but her eyes look like they've been raining in secret.
Yeah. Maybe a little sad. Definitely not mad.
Still, Isabella wished the girl would just show her face already. Let her know she was okay. Or not okay. Either worked. As long as she said something. Because the silence? It was making Isabella itch in places she didn't want to admit she had emotions in.
She needed something else to focus on. Immediately.
