"I'm coming! Hold your horses!"

"The boys are already in the cab. Come on."

They let the front door slam behind them, and Isobel rolled her suitcase down the path.

"Wait!"

Isobel turned to see Talia flying down the sidewalk toward them. "I thought you already left," Isobel said.

"I'm taking the four o'clock. I just went over to Geoff's to say good-bye. A real good-bye, as in good-bye and good luck."

"Ah."

"Listen, I wanted to thank you for not ratting us out to the cops."
