Ek was so bekoor hierdeur. Ek het Iris en haar manewales so oneindig irriterend gevind, maar het in elk geval daarin geslaag om baie van haar te hou. Jy is lief vir Iris nes jy lief is vir 'n jeugvriend. Hulle werk op jou senuwees en julle het nie veel in gemeen nie, maar jy wil net die beste vir hulle hê en kan nie anders as om verheug te wees wanneer dinge vir hulle uitwerk nie.
