Adele in Love "The woman in the crowd"

32|| LA to London

During the flight from Las Vegas to London, Adele noticed Isy's mounting anxiety. The steady hum of the engines and occasional turbulence seemed to amplify Isy's discomfort. Adele observed her restlessness—how she fidgeted in her seat and frequently glanced at her watch, as if willing time to pass faster.

"Hey, Isy," Adele said gently, placing a comforting hand on her arm. "You look a bit tense. How about calling your mom when we land? Hearing her voice might help you feel more at ease."

Isy looked at Adele, her face softening with relief. "That's a great idea," she replied, her voice tinged with both gratitude and lingering anxiety. "Talking to her might help me calm down."

Adele drew Isy into a warm embrace, her arms wrapping around her friend with a reassuring strength. She began to stroke Isy's back in slow, soothing circles, her touch gentle and rhythmic. "It's completely natural to feel this way," Adele murmured softly. "We've been on this whirlwind tour, and now we're diving into something new. It's a lot to take in."

Isy leaned into Adele, resting her head on her shoulder. "Everything just feels so overwhelming," she admitted. "Leaving Las Vegas and starting over in London—it's a lot to handle."

Adele's hand moved to caress Isy's hair, her fingers tenderly threading through the strands. "I understand," she said soothingly. "Change can be daunting, especially on such a grand scale. But remember, we're in this together."

She pressed a gentle kiss to Isy's forehead, lingering for a moment before looking into her eyes. "You're not alone. We have each other, and we'll navigate this new chapter side by side. It's a fresh start for both of us, especially after I've been living alone with Archie. It's okay to feel anxious."

Isy met Adele's gaze, her eyes filled with a mix of gratitude and affection. "Thank you," she said softly. "It means so much to hear that. I'm really glad to have you with me."

Adele smiled warmly, holding Isy close. "I'm glad too. We've already faced so much together. This is just another adventure, and we'll approach it with the same strength and love that has carried us this far."

As the plane continued its journey, Adele's comforting presence and soothing words helped ease Isy's anxiety. The warmth of Adele's embrace and the promise of their shared future provided a sense of stability, making the transition to their new life in London feel more manageable.

When they finally landed in London, the air was crisp and invigorating. They swiftly made their way through customs and into the bustling city. The prospect of discovering Adele's hometown and becoming a part of her daily life filled Isy with a mix of excitement and nervous anticipation.

As they drove to Adele's home, Adele glanced over at Isy, a hint of nervousness in her eyes. "I'm so glad you're here with me," she said softly, reaching for Isy's hand. "I know this has been a whirlwind, and there's still so much to adjust to. But having you by my side means everything."

Isy squeezed Adele's hand gently, her eyes radiating warmth. "I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I'm looking forward to this new chapter with you. We'll take it one step at a time."

Arriving at Adele's home—a cozy, charming villa nestled in a serene neighborhood—brought a sense of calm. As Adele opened the door, the welcoming interior and the familiar smell of home instantly enveloped them.

Adele led Isy inside, showing her around the house that had been a sanctuary through many trials and triumphs. The cozy living room, with its soft lighting and inviting warmth, made the transition feel comforting and personal.

Just then, Archie, Adele's young son, appeared from one of the rooms, his face lighting up with joy. "Mom! Isy!" he exclaimed, running toward them with open arms. The sight of Archie's exuberant welcome added a heartwarming touch to the moment.

Adele hugging her son, her eyes brimming with happiness. "Peanut, She's going to be living with us now."

Archie looked up at Isy with a bright smile. "I'm so happy you're here!" he said, reaching out for a hug.

Isy crouched down to Archie's level, hugging him warmly. "I'm happy to be here too," she said, her voice filled with genuine affection. "I can't wait to get to know you better."

As they continued to explore the house, Adele's two dogs bounded up to them, tails wagging excitedly. Their joyful barks and playful antics brought an extra layer of warmth to the homecoming. Adele laughed and knelt to greet her furry friends, while Isy watched with a smile. Isy admired how Adele's dogs seemed to bring an immediate sense of familiarity and comfort. As Adele petted and played with the dogs, she explained their quirks and personalities, sharing amusing anecdotes about their misadventures. Isy couldn't help but feel a deeper connection to Adele through these moments, realizing how much the dogs meant to her. The laughter and warmth from the interaction created a cozy atmosphere, making the house feel even more like a home.
