[i][color=f49ac2]Oh no, I can’t keep getting entranced by him. I can’t… I shouldn’t, but… I like him. I really like him. He makes my heart flutter, the thought of seeing him and spending time with him. I can’t. It’s not like Ethan though, this is different.[/color][/i] Getting caught up in her thoughts she knew deep down that her feelings for Ethan weren’t like what she was experiencing now, and she didn’t need her memories to remember that. Whether or not she had been with Ethan because she feared for being alone, or to please her father she didn’t know. Iris could not quite work that part out yet, but she knew she did care for Ethan. [i][color=f49ac2]I do still care for Ethan, but it seems different to this.[/color][/i] 

[color=f49ac2][i]I wonder if I ever had girl talks, did I have friends back home? Surely, I did… I could use a female to lend an ear too.[/i][/color] Shaking her head slightly from her thoughts as she watched Caspain move inside and lean against the bed, she felt the concern as she watched him as she could only imagine he was tired. Under all the charm and flair of his suit she was certain he was exhausted, but she didn’t comment. She knew that Cas would not want her to worry about him, but as much as she told herself that it was hard not to be concerned. 

[color=f49ac2]“I did, I take it you were not able too.”[/color] Speaking softly as she moved to his side as she placed her warm hand against his arm as a form of comfort, to let him know that she knew he was tired, but she wouldn’t bring it up anymore. 

Feeling her heart sink at the idea of him leaving she brushed it off before smiling, [color=f49ac2]“I haven’t eaten. I would be happy to accompany you.”[/color] Glancing at the crutches she picked them up knowing it would be best to use them for the walk to the kitchen, [color=f49ac2]“Come on slow poke. I’ll race you there~”[/color] Teasing with a laugh as she started to move from the room, more because it meant Ethan would no longer be in earshot of her words to him. [color=f49ac2][i]I feel guilty about it though, enjoying my time with Cas when I should be enjoying my time with him. Is that wrong?[/i][/color]

As she walked into the hall, she slowed her pace a little, happy that Ethan would not be able to hear them. Not without risking both their lives and she could count on the fact he would not do that. [color=f49ac2]“It’s okay you know, you had important stuff to do. Plus, I wasn’t feeling my best so I wouldn’t have been much company to you anyway.”[/color] Glancing over at Cas with a reassuring smile so he would not feel bad for leaving her. It’s me who should feel bad. 

[color=f49ac2]“Although I have to comment, you are [i]far better[/i] dressed than I for dinner.”[/color] Smirking as she looked him up and down clearly enjoying the fact he was dressed so smartly, a part of her wondered on what it would be like to go on a date with him. Out to dinner somewhere nice with the both of them dressed to the nines, she felt a little under dressed compared to him and a part of her wanted to look nice. To be dressed nice for him, which again was becoming quite the slippery slope as she could not stay here. They could never work. 

[color=f49ac2]“At least we can have dinner together this evening. Hopefully tomorrow will be better for you, I wish I could help more.”[/color] [color=f49ac2][i]I know how to help you, if I disappear with Ethan.[/i][/color] Her thoughts darkened slightly, the nagging part of her that was bringing her back to the reality of the situation.
