Chapter 2

Isabel & Kyle's hotel room

Max and Michael have arrived with food. Kyle and Isabel walk into the room.

Maria: Isabel are you okay? You left here kind of abruptly.

Isabel: I'm fine.

Michael: Hey Iz, hope you're hungry. We've got fresh stake, that's actual meat, mashed potatoes, corn, your everyday western meal.

Isabel: Great, starved. Everyone sits down to eat and Michael pulls out the Tabasco sauce.

Max: So Iz, what does Jesse have to say?

Isabel: Not much, just that he wanted a divorce.

Maria: Wait, what?

Isabel: Its no big deal. I had a feeling he would eventually.

Liz: What made him decide to call it off?

Isabel: He met someone.

Michael: And that doesn't bother you?

Isabel: No.

Maria: Girl, what is up with you? The guy decides to get a divorce and you feel nothing?

Isabel: Would you stop? It's no big deal. In all honesty I'm kind of glad he called it off because if he hadn't I would've found a way to call it off. Okay, so enough about me. What's on the agenda for the next part of the trip?

Max: Well our plans have changed now.

Kyle: Why's that?

Max: Well we had planned to go to Boston for Isabel's sake, but now...

Isabel: Wait a second. You were wanted to do a sixteen hundred mile trip just for me?

Max: Yea. I just want you to be happy Isabel.

Isabel: And I will be. I just have to find the right man first. Jesse wasn't the right man.

Max: But Alex was, wasn't he? Isabel says nothing but gets up and heads towards the door.

Michael: Where are you going?

Isabel: I just need to be alone for a while. Isabel takes a walk by the stream that is behind the hotel. She sits under a tree. A figure comes towards her and sits next to Isabel.
