She watches him,
And she sees all the things he never wants her to see.
How he goes hungry when there isn't enough for both of them.
How he looks tired because her nightmares kept him up.
The bruises he got in a fight defending her,
And the anger whenever someone hurts her feelings.
He has taught her how to sing and how to smile,
And he makes her feel safe.
She wants to tell him how she feels about him,
But the words are too hard to say, and so,
"You're an idiot," is how Irisa tells Nolan she loves him.
