IRIS
Iris turned and tossed on her bed.
She was wide awake and so was her mind. She felt restless and very much at unease too. She closed her eyes long enough in a bid to invite the beautiful hands of slumber but so far, all her efforts proved abortive.
The thought of Andrew in that field had occupied her mind which added to her dilemma.
More so the things she heard from the maids made everything worse too.
She couldn't believe that he had gone through so much. But why did she pity him? Why did she feel sorry for him? And why did she feel this ache and longing when he was also close to her. Was it because he had rescued her? Is that why she felt such connection to him?
All these thoughts and more added to her endless worries for the night.
"What troubles you Iris?” Aqua Rose asked
