[color=f49ac2]“I will win, trust me. I am repaying you. I’m just as stubborn.”[/color] Iris chuckled as she poked Caspian gently on the arm, a smile tugging at her lips from just being in his presence. It took a lot to not just hug him, show affection but she knew she couldn’t, and it was painful trying to hold it in. Especially as a part of her worried that they weren’t on the same page anymore, perhaps the week apart had made him realise he was better off without her. That was something she consistently found herself thinking about, that he was so much better off without her. [color=f49ac2][i]I’m glad he rescued me, saved me but… he would be better off without me[/i][/color]. 

Thinking on it she wondered on how they could even work, when it came down to it there was no way they could be long term considering he was due to be King. Biting the inside of her lip she tried not to think on it, but the thought continued to swirl around her mind as she contemplated on their future together. As much as the idea made her heart race it was all just fantasy, a fairy tale that could never come true because she was not destined to be with him. [color=f49ac2][i]I should just enjoy my time here with him, while it lasts[/i][/color]. 

[color=f49ac2]“Huh? Oh, that sounds quite interesting. These certainly sound more on the high end of pizza. I’m used to just good old cheese and tomato.”[/color] Grinning as she looked at the photo of the restaurants specials, excited to try the pizza because as the boys had said this was one of the best pizza restaurants in the Capital and it was hard not to be a little excited. Especially when most of her life she had eaten stale bread and scraps, compared to the food now she couldn’t imagine liking the previous food she had tolerated in the districts. 

[color=f49ac2]“Yes! Garlic bread is the best. I won’t have anyone tell me otherwise.”[/color] Iris smiled looked over at Miles as he mentioned on how the chefs were professionally trained in Italy. [color=f49ac2]“Well if this isn’t a good pizza they need to retrain the chefs then. I have high expectations now.”[/color] Chuckling to herself softly as she knew it was lie, she didn’t expect it to be the best nor would be disappointed because she knew whatever food did arrive, she would be happy to eat. It was a nice change from the slops in the districts that was for sure. 

Lingering around Cas for a little bit longer she watched him order the food her mind trailing back off to her previous worries of not being good for Cas. [color=f49ac2][i]Maybe I should just disappear? Back to the districts, he would be better off without me[/i][/color]. Looking over Cas for a second before she stood back up moving back to the sofa as there was no need to keep hanging around him after he had ordered. Sitting back down on the sofa she found herself thinking on ways to escape, sneak away from the boys because they would all do better without her and she wanted the best for Cas and she was believing that she was not it.
