Iris leaned in and kissed the corner of Eli’s lips as they walked. Their fingers laced together as they walked the town near the woods. There was a nice breeze in the wind. It got Iris thinking how calming it was. "Eli...are you happy?” She asked. Her eyes looking up at him. “Living in Wildemount...you’d say you’re happy?” Her eyes were soft. “I just...I know in the past there was a point you were...miserable here...as that changed?” She gave his hand a squeeze. “In all honesty.”

The door is unlocked, come in when you get here. I’ll probably be in my office. Iris texted Elijah as she made sure the sign said closed. The last thing she needed was for someone to talk in while Elijah was hooking up security. She couldn’t remember what time they picked, so Iris went into the office and decided to do some work. 

With her line of business became lots of research and knowledge on products. Moans came from her computer screen as she was studying how a certain product worked before she was going to buy it for the store.

Holding a gift basket, Iris walked up to Elijah’s door. This definitely wasn’t a basket she was giving many people lately. It just consisted of two very fine wines, chocolate, cheese and crackers, and other little treats. He had done a lot for her when he didn’t have to and he never asked to be paid back, so she thought this was good enough. 

Knocking on the door, she almost planned on leaving the basket and walking away, but she wanted to stay so she could personally thank him as well.

Did Iris spend most of the day cleaning an already clean house? Of course she did. She didn’t know why Elijah coming over made her almost nervous. The house was clean, but she felt the need to take the time to do more cleaning. It was like she never met him before and this was a first impression. But she knew Eli, but maybe that’s what made her nervous? Iris couldn’t tell.

As she took a breath, she heard a knock on the door. She moved to the front door and pulled it open with a smile on her face. “Hi.” She stepped aside. “Thank you again for coming to spell the rooms. I hope I’m not taking your evening away. I got some steak and shrimp to make. Chandler is busy tonight, so it’ll just be you and I.”

The sound of water crashing all around her made her open her eyes. A scream escaped her lips as she noticed the body in the water. So familiar. So real. She frantically moved from the water to the shore as fast as she could. She looked at her hands no blood, but there didn’t need to be for her to remember what happened. All these years ago, she had pushed this memory from her mind, and now it was captivating her. Iris noticed her parents running from the house with her aunt. She ran towards them crying. She didn’t know what was going on, why this was happening.

The look on her parents face said it all. “Please...I’m so sorry...I didn’t do this.” But she did. She knew she did. Her father went to deal with the body as her mother stormed into the house. Iris followed begging for her to listen. For her to hold her and tell her it’ll be alright. Why did she do this? “Mom--” I

“Don’t.” The hand went up. “You’re a monster!” Her mother yelled. “A killer...you have a demon inside of you.” Iris was crying trying to shake her head. 

“Please...I’m your daughter.” Iris outreached but her mother smacked her hand away. “You are not our daughter. Our daughter died out in the lake today. You are a monster.” Iris noticed her father walking in. “Dad--please!” She begged, but her father looked at her as if she was a monster.

“The curse.” Her aunt finally spoke. “It is true.” Iris looked over.

“Then you know, this isn’t me! Please!” Her family wouldn’t believe her begs. Little did Iris know was that she was tossing and turning and making small cries in her sleep. This was a nightmare, but it felt like she was stuck back through time to relive this memory.

With everything going on, she was glad that it was all over. The murder investigation, the dome being down, everything. Her first after going home and freshening up was Elijah. She stopped at the strip club to make sure that everything was still fine. She gave everyone the day off. She wasn’t expecting customers right after everything. Iris grabbed a bottle of whiskey and tequila before she made her way over to Elijah’s place.

Knocking, she waited until he answered. Normally, she would probably walk in, but they were playing safe with one another.

“You should have seen the look on Chandler’s face in that maze.” Iris shared with a laugh as she held onto Eli’s arm as they walked. “It was priceless.” She smiled. “Is there something that you are dying to do in this festival?”
