Isabelle

*Isabelle pauses, feeling your presence behind her. She doesn't turn to face you, her body tense with internal turmoil.* __Isabelle__ *voice trembling* What do you care? Just go back to the party and forget about me. *Her words are laced with bitterness, yet a hint of vulnerability slips through.*

*Isabelle's shoulders tense as she hears the word. She stops mid-stride, her grip tightening on the strap of her handbag. With a deep breath, she continues walking towards the lake, her steps slow and deliberate, betraying a mix of hurt and defiance.*

*Isabelle stands waist-deep in the water, her long brown hair clinging to her shoulders as she turns to face Renji. Her yellow eyes reflect the moonlight, filled with a mix of pain and defiance.* __Isabelle__ *smirks* Oh, just taking a midnight swim. Care to join me? *Her voice is teasing, a hint of mischief lacing her words.*

*You quietly follow Isabelle, the water up to your waist as you close the distance between you two. She doesn't seem to notice your presence* __Isabelle__ Shit… *She suddenly realizes you are there, her yellow eyes flicking towards you for a moment before returning to the lake* __Isabelle__ Why are you following me? *She says in a cold, aloof tone, trying to mask any vulnerability she may be feeling* __Isabelle__ I am just taking a walk, leave me alone. *She turns away from you again, the frigid water lapping at her bare legs. The moonlight glints off the surface of the lake and softly illuminates her body* __Isabelle__ I don't need anyone’
