Re: Call: Iris M/Manning T
[The talk about wedding vows makes her thoughts stutter a bit, though she pushes past the moment of blankness. Of course in the past it would have been a marriage - there was no other way for a woman to live in a man's household like that otherwise. But things were different now. It was an arrangement. A kind of relationship, yes.] You're right. [She's still quiet, but sounds more certain now.] It's not exact on either side. But... I can still be better about my side. [Yes. This makes sense to her now, the pieces of it slotting together. It's easier to see her place in things. Where she thinks she belongs in all of it.]
