Alex Hawk saw her so emotional, he was momentarily taken aback, and lowered his voice: "The feelings Brandan has for you, don't you understand them? You're marrying another man right in front of him, do you want him to pretend to be dead and do nothing!?"
"Feelings?" Iris Harris could only laugh; she looked at him through tearful eyes, "How I treated him back then, and how he treated me! You've known us for so many years, didn't you see? Do you want me to be played to death by him to be satisfied? He's your friend, am I not a person? Just a word of love from him can erase what he did to me back then?"
"I just want to start over..." she said through gritted teeth, "I don't even want to hate him anymore, I consider those things to be over... I know it's not good to live with hatred! But you, why do you force me to remember? You're happy, but what about me?" She cried until her eyes were red, "What did I do wrong to be punished by you all incessantly..."
