Stressing over the start

lagilmanThe original outline for TDW#2 opens with Izzy on her own, her companions meeting up with her later. Story-wise, this makes absolute sense, and would tie in with how I left things at the end of SILVER ON THE ROAD.
But.
But. Is that really a good move, story-wise? Wouldn't it make more sense, having found companions, that at this stage in her life she'd cleave to them? (which would also tie in with how I left things at the end of SILVER ON THE ROAD). And maybe the NEXT book, open on her own?
I'm dithering. And until I decide, I can't move forward. Which is making me all sorts of cranky.
And how we open determines much of how we go on, so I can't half-ass it with the idea of revising, later (it may come to that, but I can't start with that mindset).
argh.
Feedback, from a) people who read SILVER and b) anyone who feels comfortable commenting blind?
