THE SOMEWHAT relaxing and entertaining time he’d spent on the cruise was enough to keep the male distraction free and had allowed him to really start to think about things. it had been a little over a year since elise had left him at the altar and a year since he had thrown himself into his job, working tirelessly to make his family’s company thrive and to establish connections with the most talented of wix in the community. whilst on the cruise, he realized something: he had yet to think about elise and the heartbreak he felt since he saw alison again.
ALISON BISHOP: his biggest what if. she was truly something. he’d been intrigued by her since grace first introduced the two of them and was attracted to her not just because of her beauty but because of her brains, talents and her overall personality. there’s no other witch like her and isaac found himself comparing elise and alison, only to find that his ex fiancee was nowhere near as wonderful as the former ravenclaw.
EVER SINCE he bumped into her that fateful day, he found himself thinking more and more about her and what could have happened if only he hadn’t been blinded by elise’s charms. he supposed he deserved it though. to the outsider, isaac had seemingly led alison on after all, and so one could argue that he got what was coming to him. even he felt that way sometimes, but he was determined to reestablish a friendship with alison, despite the confusing feelings he felt at the moment.
AS HE stood in front of alison’s shop, isaac hesitated for a moment. since seeing each other again, many of their encounters were accidental. he’d never really made the conscious decision to go out of his way to spend time with her until now and he felt... nervous. which was crazy, because the two of them were kinda sorta friends, right? and there was no reason for two people who were kinda sorta friends to feel nervous. or at least, that’s what he tried to tell himself. before he could chicken out ( which would be very un-gryffindor of him ), isaac’s feet seemed to have a mind of their own and walked into the shop, trying to look for the blonde witch.
