"Hey, what? Wait!" Isabelle called, a moment too late. By the time her brain finally caught up with what had happened, Jon was gone. The only sign of his departure being a path of disturbed tallgrass on the way back to the mansion. That guy could run fast when he wanted to.

Isabelle shrugged, whatever. She hadn't expected her speech to trigger a Eureka Moment. But now that it had, it meant something else to do. Something that promised to be interesting, potentially important to one of her friends and, most of all, diverting.

Far better than wasting time out here.
