Isabela took Jasper's elbow with a smile, letting him take her to the car. She appreciated the gentlemanly gesture. She had been raised to expect this sort of treatment, from her father and uncle, but also just by being told that it was what she deserved. And it was what she deserved. (She tried not to wonder if she also deserved what Clayton had done to her...)
She settled into the car, unbothered by the roof being down. After all, they were rolling not too fast through the hills, plus her magic meant that she hardly knew the meaning of a bad hair day. Some pieces danced around her face, but otherwise it waved prettily in the wind.
"Don't worry about it," she told him, looking over at him with a smile. "I like the fresh air." If anything, it was a little chilly, but Isabela had suffered much worse in the name of looking beautiful.
"And I am sorry if I was busy during Easter, it is one of our most successful holidays we have at la Casita and I often get pulled in a hundred directions. This is better anyway, si? One on one."

Hercules trailed off, not finishing his sentence. Which was not exactly comforting, considering Isabela had just asked how he was. She was not convinced. But, well, she wasn't sure she should press the issue. It wasn't really her place. And she knew that Hercules certainly had plenty of people looking out for him.
Still! It was a little concerning.
"Oh, you know, lovely as always. Pilates days are my favourite." She liked Yoga too, and cycling, but Pilates was her favourite. It gave her a full work out but was also gentle and relaxed. And, usually, mostly women too, which she preferred.
"I've got Yoga tomorrow. It sounds like you could benefit from a Yoga class yourself," she said, her voice light and teasing.

Isabela raised her eyebrows and then let out a little laugh, swanning into the office and taking a seat across the desk from Hercules. Her head tilted.
"No, I was just saying hello before I headed out for the day." Her gaze searched his face for a moment. He had basically admitted to being swamped, but now that she was closer--she could see it plainly in his expression. Being overworked wasn't good for anyone.
"Are you alright?"

Isabela smiled right back, not just because she was pleased he was pausing his workout to chat with her, but also because she agreed. She loved the springtime too. How could she not with her magic? It was so nice to see flowers greeting you everywhere you went, not just because you brought them with you.
She chuckled at his anecdote about the boulders, but gave the appropriate frown of sympathy too.
"Yes, I just finished a Pilates class," Isabela said. "I was thinking about doing a cool down on the treadmill but...I don't know. I definitely could be working on my strength more. I am just always so unsure where to start." She ran her hand through her high ponytail.

A rich man coming to pick up Isabela in a fancy car?
Yes, this might be a play you remember reading once before...but what did that matter? Cliches were cliche for a reason and people loved their tropes.
Isabela loved rich and powerful men, who could ensure her family's well-being in this foreign country. She liked the security that they brought with them. She liked the jewelry and expensive things that they could buy her. She liked that the only thing expected of her was to be something pretty to accessorize their outfits.
She had done her own research, of course, the same way she had stalked Clayton when she had first met him. Honestly, she was intrigued by his military service. Isabela had a good esteem of the military, she respected them and, well, being on the arm of a military hero wouldn't look so bad for her image.
"IIIIsabela," Camilo called. "Your new beau is here! And he's got a shiny car, oooh."
"How do I look?" Isabela asked as she floated down the stairs.
Camilo let out a whistle, snapping his fingers. Her abuela came over to pinch her cheeks. "Beautiful, mija."
Isabela took a breath and then Casita opened the door of its own accord. It would be disappointed they weren't staying, but, hopefully, this wouldn't be Jasper's last time at the house.
"Thank you," she said to the compliment. It was expected. This was a script, but she knew her lines. "More than ready, I have been looking forward to it. I am so glad you invited me out, it was very kind of you."

tw: car accident
LOCAL INFLUENCER SAVES THE DAY!
By Annie G. Tremaine
Isabela Valera Madrigal, 28, was on her way home from a modeling gig when she encountered a horrific sight on the side of the road. "It was horrible," reflects Ms. Madrigal. "I told the Uber driver to stop and I called 999. The Uber driver just left! Can you believe it?"
The accident Ms. Madrigal encountered involved two men, Jonathan Paisley and Nicholas DiLaurentis. While the road to recovery is long for them, and DiLaurentis remains in a coma, it may not have begun at all if not for Ms. Madrigal.
One can imagine it was a terrifying experience for Ms. Madrigal, but she made quick decisions and called the proper authorities right away.
"I just told myself that there were two people who needed help, so I needed to keep my head, you know? When you're in an emergency like that, instinct just takes over. I wanted to make sure they were okay so that became more important than my own feelings," explains Ms. Madrigal.
An unnamed paramedic eventually drove Ms. Madrigal home after Mr. Paisley and Mr. DiLaurentis were rushed to the hospital.
When asked whom she would credit with her heroic actions, Ms. Madrigal thought of her family.
"My family survived the coup because of the kindness of others. And I couldn’t just stand by and let someone else go through their worst day alone. As for training, well, my mother Julieta Madrigal is a kitchen witch who is a very powerful healer, so I suppose I learned a little from her. And my uncle Félix. He’s a certified nurse. I am lucky to live in a house full of healers."
What does Ms. Madrigal think we can learn from this incident? "Definitely be careful. We're a small town, accidents do happen. And, also, we must look out for one another! Our neighbours are our friends and we should all be good friends to our neighbours."

"Hola," Isabela said, leaning in the doorway of Hercules' office.
Tumblr media
She had no idea if she was allowed to be back here, but he'd never told her no. She tended to swing by after a class if she didn't see him out on the floor just to say hello.
The last few times she'd been in the gym, he'd been busy. Which was fine and also unsurprising, but it was nice to catch him in a down moment.
"Are you busy?"

Isabela was not really a do-your-own-routine at the gym kind of girlie. She wasn't really interested in strength necessarily. She liked feeling fit--enough, but really it was about getting her heart rate up and stretching her muscles. So, usually, she took classes. Yoga, Pilates, cycling. The stuff that people jeered at for "not being real exercise" even though most straight men she'd seen take a cycling class keeled over and could hardly walk afterwards.
Besides, being on the gym floor always felt a little too exposed for her. She spent most of her life being oogled by design. Sometimes, she wanted a break.
But, she had just finished one of her classes and she was thinking about doing a mile or so on the treadmill for a come down. She had to walk past the weights to get there and she'd seen Kronk. She'd planned just to give a wave, say hello and move on--but Kronk sat up. Isabela blushed. Had she been the one oogling?
"Hola," she said, easily slipping into Spanish. She loved speaking it with anyone she could and she liked Kronk's Peruvian accent. "Any day is a good day to be in the gym, if you ask me. Though, in the Spring, I do like being outside more if I am honest. I guess you can't really do weights outside the gym, hm?"

Just as she thought. He hadn't been eating. She didn't blame him. Isabela was similar when she was grieving. There had been plenty to grieve in the past, most recently--her wedding. Though, that seemed to pale in comparison to this. Isabela wouldn't know what to do without her father or mother. Just thinking about it made her feel a little sick and panicky. Her mother was the one who had taught her that food was important in times like this.
"Hey, no--none of that," Isabela said, shaking her head with a soft smile. "You sit down. I'll be hostess. Please, let me. As long as you don't mind me digging around in your kitchen a bit. Oh, and before I forget, where are your vases?"
As she asked this, she waved her hand and a beautiful, full bouquet of white lilies appeared in her hand. She had texted Snow to ask what flowers would be appropriate, but it turned out there wasn't any need. White lilies were mourning in China, just as they were in Colombia.
