Chapter 6

“You look good in that uniform, as always,” Isabelle told Liam with a smile as she surveyed what she could see of him in the Skype window. It was late in the evening, and Isabelle sipped on a coffee at a small diner, waiting for the person she was meeting to arrive. She felt that she was doing a little bit better after Holly had stayed with her a few days and she had reconnected with Bradley in a friendly manner. It helped that she was getting to see Liam’s face for a change.

“Well, you look stunning too. I really miss getting to touch you in person, though, all over,” he told her with a cute wink that made her heart skip a beat. She smiled genuinely. “So, how are things going with you? I know it must be a bit lonelier with your roommate out of town.”

Isabelle thought it best not to mention the almost disaster at the club or her depression, now that she was doing better. “It’s hard some days, but Holly has been great. She’s trying to help me get a full-time photography gig instead of just freelancing, and in the meantime, I think I’ve found something to do with myself.” She sat up proudly with a toothy grin. It was amazing who had given her the idea, but she thought it was brilliant anyway.

“Oh? Tell me more.”

“Well,” Isabelle began, trying not to get herself too excited before it was final. “I’m actually about to meet with some people right now to talk about volunteering at a counseling center for kids and young adults struggling with addiction or for those whose parents have addiction problems. I don’t know if it will work out or not, but I hope that I finally get to use my past for something good.”

Liam started cheering and clapping jovially, and smiling his bright smile. “I am so proud of you, Isabelle. That’s amazing. You’re going to make such a difference in their lives. If I were there I would give you a big kiss. But…” Liam paused and leaned down. He fumbled through something before coming up with a fist full of something he had been hiding from her. “I do have something I want to show you that I’ll be shipping out to you tomorrow. I really hope you like it.” His hand opened to reveal what he was holding, and Isabelle gasped. It was a rose gold necklace with a pendant of three small teardrop shaped sapphires. It was the most beautiful and probably most expensive item of jewelry she had seen in her life.

“Is that for me, really?” she asked, shocked that he would spend so much on her, especially being so far away. She wanted to cry because she felt like she didn’t deserve it or such a wonderful man.

“Of course, it’s for you. I wanted to get you something to help you remember that I am always close to your heart, until we can be reunited.
