Re: Home: Iris and Manning
Iris continued to shake and tremble as she tried to tuck herself closer to Manning. Her mind wanted to continue to drag her down the same paths of self-loathing and despair, while at the same time wanting to push her up toward better things. Things like the coming baby. Things like their small but growing family. The life they were all making. She didn't want it to be derailed by anything, even her own broken mind.
"I don't know. No? Maybe?" She mumbled the words into his chest, trying to breathe and find her steady foundation again. Breathing in brought her the scent of him, his clothes, the outside and the trace of animals. Him. "No?"
