Rayleigh has never felt more worn out and sick than she does on the day Isabelle leaves for work. It will be another two weeks before they can finally meet again and live together for good. With all the tension from Lauren's own work responsibilities and Isabelle's absence, Rayleigh decides to ask her father for two days off and retreats to the family mansion to recuperate.
