this is isaac. leave a message| [Text | Video | Voice | Offline]

[When his head settles to her shoulder, she tips her own head to rest hers there too. She knows how it feels to have that sinking feeling like it'll never work out. That this is all there is to the things you want the most. It's not something she talks about, let alone anything that she can express into words, but she can at least apply those experiences to something close to what Isaac is going through.]

You could always look forward to it, instead of thinking of it as something that could happen - think of it as something that will happen. Not to be all positive thinking bullshit on you, or anything, but it'll make you feel better if you just look at it as something that's gonna happen. No matter when, just that it will.

[It's what helped her through most of high school.]

Maybe.

[He just shrugs, threading his fingers through hers and squeezing her hand gently.]

Feels like I'm setting myself up for failure.

[Erica gives his hand a squeeze back.]

How did you set yourself up for failure? I doubt you forced yourself onto him. I really don't think that you're unattractive. You have a similar understanding of what you're missing by being here. [The werewolf thing... sadly something she can't relate to.]

I'm pretty sure you're not setting anything up for failure or success. You're just here Isaac and so is he and if it works - it works. I don't think the way you feel is a set-up for anything. It's a lot more complicated than that, but that's a good thing. If it was easy, everyone would date Scott McCall. [Her elbow nudges at him playfully.]

By telling myself everything will work out.

[He huffs, trying not to flush at the idea of dating Scott. That's so not cool.]

To be honest, it probably won't. Basically everyone we know except for Scott is against it.

Except for Scott, who by the way is the only one that matters in that choice, you and me.

[She takes a deep breath and exhales it slowly.] I don't know. I am not the dating expert, but there's nothing wrong with a little hope.
