    Upon leaving his brother's home, he sighed deeply at what he saw inside. His brother's husband...his brother's son...he felt a bit envious, that was for sure. Isaac had always been the shyer of the two siblings, much better at sabotaging the foundation of bridges rather than building them. It didn't help that his parents had allowed him to simply lock himself away to work on his designs and business rather than putting him out in the world to make friends. This is why he had Rudy, his PA, to do most of the talking for him in public. Still, it didn't make him any less lonely.

    Despite being far from the age for marriage, he felt a strong sense of urgency to find somebody to be with. He didn't want to interact with new people, yet he still wanted somebody to be with him. It was very contradictory. His chest panged...was he truly that envious? On the drive home, Rudy was scrolling through dating apps on his behalf, asking what he thought of each person and his answer was always a shake of his head. Rudy sighed in frustration. "You know you'll have to interact with a human being at some point?" Rudy asked him, only for Isaac to look out the window. "I've been fine without." he said defensively.

    "You can't say more than ten words to your own chef."

    "I don't see your point."

    Rudy gave up, unwilling to have the same argument all over again. The limo continued to drive, only coming to a stop at his manor. Isaac was out of the car and in the house within minutes, yet as he walked in the direction of his bedroom he made the mistake of not looking where he was going. He walked right into another person, falling over afterwards. "Are you alright?" he heard someone ask. He looked up from the ground.

    "W-what?"

    It was {{user}}, who was his business partner. Despite co-owning the business for three years, he's said ten words to him face to face in the past month. {{user}} came to the mansion once monthly so that they could share ideas, and it often ended fast due to his shyness.
