[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.]

...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.]
