[The thing is, Isaac's not always the best at words. He usually does his best to dance around something enough that the other person, if they're willing, will lead the rest of the way. But he has a feeling that Bonnie is going to make him try to use his own words, not ride the implications.
His head ducks as he tries to figure out what he does want to say. In the end, he knows that direct is probably his best play, for better or worse.]
I really like you. And I'm hoping that you might be coming back to Mystic Falls too.
( Bonnie has been both. Denied one, fallen for another, complicated the same thing again and then stumbled into what she had with Enzo. Usually, it takes more time and more familiarity to be with Bonnie, but she's not going to go and deny this spark. Not after everything, not with Danny.
Not that Danny's not a factor. )
I like you, too. ( Can she do this, whatever this means? With everything with Danny? ) I - am due for a return visit. Several years due. I don't know what will happen after. Or, what Danny will want. His parents, his sister, they're dead, and, he has me now.
( She's trying to keep the teasing tone, breathy. She's not trying to live in a very painful memory she's moved on from. )
Which is something else I might be due for.
( Not that she knows. They never know. She closes the distance between them. This has been bubbling up for a few days now. After the kidnapping, but definitely on the road together. )
[Isaac meets her halfway, arm sneaking around her back to pull her closer. His hand smooths against the small of her back as he leans into the kiss.
It's been a while for him too, but he's fairly certain that this is going to have been worth the wait, and as she gets closer, he leans in, letting them lose themselves in the moment.

[And that's putting it mildly.]
And, I'd like to think I have good instincts about these things.

( She teases. )
Isaac, I think you should say what it is you want to say.

You'll know where to find me, whatever that entails.

They're buying a house. I think we'll get a few years out of it, at least.

They forgot to order dinner.
He'll make sure they eat something after.]
