Darkness. Isabel knew it was morning, but she and Rob had always drawn the curtains in their houses. They granted each other privacy, since their windows were directly beside each other. So, darkness.
She turned on her side and then opened her eyes, remembering more now.
No one waking her up from down in the street, shouting her name even though all the neighbors would hear, not caring whether Isa would wake or not. So, no Rob.
Lying on her side, still staring into the dim light, she slowly thought of what exactly she was doing here. Stable. Applewood Stable. Her stable. The horses! Yes, no Rob.
She jumped up, flung back the curtains instead of pulling that flimsy string thing at the corner, and then dressed into faded breeches and a comfortable t-shirt. Grabbing up her helmet and gloves from the bedside table, Isa ran downstairs and made herself a cup of instant noodles. She balanced that, still sealed, inside the helmet and then opened the door and ran outside.
No Rob. Because there was no time for Rob.
