By Friday, Isabella’s mood had gotten progressively worse. Clara had brought her parents over the night before and she’d let them know she was engaged. Her mother was happy for her but annoyed she hadn’t called her right away to let them know. Instead of being a happy celebration, her mother had berated her for holding secrets and Isabella had snapped at her but then instantly regretted it. The damage was done however and her mother had been huffy and pouting afterwards.
Then when her father found out Evgeni Andropov was now trying to kidnap her, he had gotten terribly upset at being kept in the dark. Overall, the evening had been nothing like she had wanted it to be, and she was irritated without the distractions of work to keep her mind off being cooped up like an animal in a zoo.
