Sadde knocks on Isabella's door at 7PM sharp.
And he continues doing whatever he needs to do at work, and practicing magic on his occasional free and/or dull moments.
And on goes his week: Isabella, breakfast, work/magic, lunch, work/magic, magic, dinner, Isabella, sometimes with more Isabella sprinkled here and there depending on her schedule and also the occasional Jackson at mealtimes.
Alex visits!
Except Sadde hasn't met Alex yet. Where, when, and how will Sadde meet Alex?
"Yo."
Alex has his hair and his outfit both quite impeccably cut to fit a dom! Does Sadde buy it?
"Hello. Unless you're Alex I'm confused, but in case you are, I'm actually Sadde."
"I heard you wanna make everyone immortal. So, did Bella order you out of a catalog or are you an illegal science experiment?"
He laughs. "I like you. Did Isabella tell you that? You're cool. And as far as I know I'm neither, it just so happens that sometimes more than one person has huge prosocial ambitions at a time, I know, surprising, right?"
"She did tell me that. I just expected it'd take her forever to find one, and for all I knew everybody like-minded she met would be a dom too or whatever."
"Yes. 'A couple of lost eclipsed save the world and, unexpectedly, each other,' or something," he giggles.
"I can think of one person who required a romance to 'save' them and it's not either of us," snorts Isabella.
"Well, a romcom about us would certainly have some of that when fictionalized, and we'd probably not start dating until we'd fought at least two villains together. Also I bet they'd make me much subbier than I am in general."
"Yeah, wow, I bet they'd give me long hair. I'm wayyyy too lazy to take care of long hair."
"Or they'd, like, have you think you're a switch but then discover that you're actually not when you meet her, and then grow your hair out."
