[Isaac hears her, but he tries for a moment longer, moving to open the door to the bedroom and bathroom, before coming back out to the living area, his jaw tight with anger.]
Damn it.
[In anger, he lashes out, kicking at the flimsy coffee table, which topples over onto its side, breaking the mug that was resting on top of it.] We just talked about this.
[She doesn't flinch at his outburst, because she understands where Isaac had been trying to go with his relationship with Derek. Having it be that close and then ripped out from under him deserved a bit of anger.]
It's better than him leaving and having never tried at all.
What if he comes back and pretends he doesn't remember it again? It's a convenient way out for him, after I already went the extra mile to let him back in.
Then it'll just be another thing we have to deal with because of our situation. It's not our fault that he's not here.
I don't think it's his fault either, but he had tried to figure things out. I think if he had just left and hadn't even cared to try that it would feel a lot crappier. [It was sort of how it felt with her and Derek, so she can speak from a tiny bit of her own perspective.]

[He doesn't mean to snap at her but he does, frustrated and just- helpless. He hates it.]
He was going to start over. We were going to start over. He apologized and now he's just fucking gone.

[He's calming down a little now- still not perfect, but better. Somewhat.]
...sorry for freaking out like that.

It's fine. I know you guys had been working things out. You're allowed to be ticked off at this.

[Still, there's a long pause before Isaac looks back toward her.]
What now?

A long pause.
And then Isaac just starts laughing.]
...alright. Let's do it.
