"Shopping?" It seems like an abrupt change of pace from what we've been doing. From what little I know of Isabella, it definitely seems like something she enjoys but an old, nervous part of me doesn't like the idea that I might be inconveniencing her. She came her to work out and practice her fighting after all, not to do this.

But it's also the kind of thing that Christina would have done and the thought turns in my heart a little bit. It makes me miss them all the more and want a distraction more intensely.

"I don't want to inconvenience you," I say, but we both know there's a but that I'm not saying. But please, I can't think about this anymore. But please let's go.
