Now that To the Moon and Back is completed I can finally work on Parallel Line without feeling guilty. So...

“Weirdly appropriate getting driven home by a cop tonight of all nights. Rosa would be proud.” Maria teased as she got out of Isobel’s squad car outside of the Wild Pony.

“Happy to be of service.” Isobel offered her a smile, but it faded. “Maria, have… are you freaked out by me? I just haven’t seen you for the last few days, so I thought… you know.”

Maria instantly felt regret at the idea. Isobel had trusted her with this huge secret, and it was true she hadn’t checked in with her. She also wasn’t used to thinking of Isobel as being insecure. “I wasn’t avoiding you intentionally. I just wanted to make sure my Mom actually went to her follow up appointment. Let her rest a bit before I left again.”

Isobel glanced down, trying to hide the hurt that she’d already seen flash through her eyes. “Of course, I mean I knew weren’t staying here. Superstar, right?”

“I wouldn’t go that far.” Maria told her. “But, I do have a life outside of Roswell. There’s this charity concert in San Diego in about two weeks, and I was going to perform there.”

“Sounds good. Maybe I’ll see a recording on YouTube.” Her smile was teasing, but it didn’t reach her eyes.

“Or you could come watch it. I mean, you could fly out for the weekend, right?” Maria realized she very much wanted the answer to be yes, but Isobel’s expression wasn’t encouraging.

“I really couldn’t… goodnight, Maria.” She headed back around to the driver’s side of the car.

She began to follow her lead, turning away to head inside, but turned back determinedly. “I still want to kiss you. In case you’ve forgotten. I just have to get through this one crappy day, but tomorrow for sure. Sunrise? At the old turquoise mines?”

“I can’t, Maria. I told you about-”

“Look.” She pulled aside her jacket and the shoulder of her shirt to reveal the fading glowing mark Isobel had left on her with her powers. “The handprint’s fading. It’ll be gone by then. You’ll know my feelings are real. Not some psychic reverberation.”

“It’s been ten years, Maria. You don’t know me like you think you do.”
