[MYSTIC GRILL]
Isobel and Alaric are standing at the bar.

ISOBEL: It's good to see you. You look good. I hear that you're a high school history teacher? How is that?

ALARIC: Where have you been, Isobel?

ISOBEL: I don't have any reasons that are gonna comfort you.
I don't have any explanations that are gonna satisfy you. I wanted this.

ALARIC: It's that simple?

ISOBEL: Yeah. You were supposed to mourn me, and move on.

ALARIC: You were my wife, and I loved you. How could I not search for you?

ISOBEL: Because I wasn't lost, Ric.

She takes a paper and writes something.

ISOBEL: I understand that you know my daughters, Indiana and Elena and I hear that they've been looking for me. So...

[She gives the paper to Alaric.]

ISOBEL: I want you to arrange for a meeting with us.

[Alaric looks at the paper.]

ALARIC: You want me to deliver a message?

ISOBEL: (smiles) Yes.

[Alaric throws the paper.]

ALARIC: Screw you. You selfish bitch.

[He gets up and leaves.]

♡♡♡

[In the parking lot, Alaric is going to his car. Isobel arrives behind him.]

ALARIC: What do you want from me?

ISOBEL: I told you.

ALARIC: I'm not gonna do anything for you.
