Lucas: I like her

HELPING IRIS pack her suitcase with clothes, shoes, and supplies enough to cover her two-week stay at my house was not something I had in mind when I rushed over to protect her from Jerald a few hours ago.

I thought she was saying it out of spite or to make Jerald mad because she said it in anger, but then she repeated the same statement during our shared moment at the small gate. It was music to my ears, because now I get to have her full time, and I can fully use the treatment methods DR. Williams told me since we get to spend even the evening together.

Now I'm even more glad I rushed over to help her deal with Jerald—that fucking monster. He wasn't in his right mind when I saw him, like a madman who has been freed from a confinement prison after years of being locked down.
