ISLA
Isla blinks at him, incredulous and unsure. "I have been afraid for your life," she says softly. "I'm sorry if you find that laughable given how strong you are these days, but I've been worried about you. And you are just as capable of asking to put a pin in the conversation, you don't have to wait for me to do it for you," she points out, wiping the tears from her cheeks.
Sagging back into the chair, suddenly she can't meet Remi's eyes. "I'm sorry I couldn't be what you needed me to be, today," she murmurs. Never mind that he had shown up and simply expected it from her without considering her state of mind. "It has been a very stressful season, and I wasn't expecting you to just walk in. I panicked a little."
