I kekahi manawa hilahila wau ke kamaʻilio e pili ana iā ia e like me kēia. ʻAʻole no ka mea e pili ana i koʻu makuahōnōwai wahine, akā, no ka mea, me he mea lā ua nele loa kēia kumuhana i ka ʻike kumu. I loko o ka hohonu, manaʻo wau hiki iā Xavier a me aʻu ma luna o kēlā.

No ka manawa lōʻihi, ua mālama au i kaʻu mau manaʻo e pili ana i ka makuahine o Xavier, no ka mea, ʻo kēia wahine, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole hoʻohewa ʻia. ʻAʻole maopopo ʻo Xavier ua manaʻo wau i kekahi mea maikaʻi ʻole iā ia i hiki ʻole iā ia ke ʻike. ʻAʻohe oʻu hōʻike, ʻoiaʻiʻo. E hoʻomaikaʻi mau ana iaʻu, e nānā mai iaʻu, neʻe mālie ʻo Nanette i kā mākou mea hoʻonaninani. He mau makahiki wale nō ma hope mai ua ʻike au ʻo ia kāna ala e hoʻomākaukau ai i nā mea. Ma kahi liʻiliʻi, hoʻolilo iaʻu i "kaikamahine āna i loaʻa ʻole" i hoʻohuli i kaʻu kāne i kaikunāne ʻenemi.
"Iris... He inoa mua paha kēlā a i ʻole he inoa inoa?" ", Ua nīnau ʻo ia iā mākou i ka wā i hānau ʻia ai kā mākou kaikamahine. I ka wehewehe ʻana iā Xavier i koʻu makemake i ke kala o nā irises, ua pane ʻo Nanette "Pomaikaʻi ʻaʻole ʻo ia makemake i ka ʻulaʻula, inā ʻaʻole ua kapa ʻo ia iā ia ʻo Geranium!" A i ka ʻōlelo ʻana mai a koʻu makuahōnōwai wahine iaʻu, i mua o koʻu alo, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kēlā "ʻo ia" me he mea lā he nalu wau ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka pae ʻana, hoʻomaopopo wau i ke kaumaha oʻu. ʻAʻole ʻo ia, akā ʻo Xavier. ʻO Xavier, ka mea hoʻopili o kāna mau pikes he nui. ʻO ka ʻike ʻana iā ia e ʻakaʻaka i ka ʻakaʻaka a kona makuahine, ua huhū wau. "Marion, mai lawe hewa ʻoe ..." haʻi mai ʻo ia iaʻu i koʻu huhū ʻana, e kala ana i kēia hoʻohenehene me ka lima kua, a hāpai i ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa aloha i kona makuahine e pili ana i nā hormones wahine.
No ka hānau ʻana o Iris, hele mai ʻo Nanette e noho ma ka hale, e like me ka ʻae ʻana. Hana pinepine ʻo Xavier i nā ʻāina ʻē a makemake kona makuahine e kōkua iā mākou. I loko o ʻelua hola, ua hoʻololi loa ʻia koʻu hale noho. ʻAʻole mākou i hana pēlā. ʻAʻole mākou i like me aʻu. ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻololi i kahi keiki ma luna o ka pākaukau, ʻoiai me kahi moena hoʻololi i kau ʻia ma luna. ʻAʻole mākou i hānai i kahi keiki ma ka lehulehu, ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ko mākou pale ʻana i ka umauma! E kau ʻia ke keiki ma luna o ka lole hao. No ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe o ke keʻena, holoi ʻo ia i nā mea a pau mai luna a lalo me he mea lā he slut au. Ua manaʻo wau ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kaʻu pēpē, e haʻalele ʻo ia mai koʻu mau lima i nā manawa a pau aʻu e hāpai ai iā ia, me ka paipai ʻana iaʻu, ma ke alo o Xavier, e hele e hoʻomaha, i mea e hōʻike ai i kona kōkua. Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo ia iā Iris ma ke kāhea ʻana iā ia ʻo "Risette", e mālama mau ana ʻaʻole e haʻi i kona inoa mua e hoʻoweliweli iā ia.
Ua hana au me ia. Ua kūlou au, a laila ua noi au iā ia e haʻalele, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana he pono iaʻu e ʻimi i koʻu hale. No ka makemake mau ʻo Nanette e hōʻike i nā mea a pau he naʻauao loa ʻo ia, ua hoʻi ʻo ia i ka home, e hōʻailona ana iā Xavier he mau ala ʻakaʻaka kaʻu e kiola aku ai iā ia e like me kēia e hoʻomaikaʻi iā ia. Ua haʻalele ka makuakāne o Xavier iā ia i kona wā ʻōpiopio a ʻaʻole ʻo ia i neʻe i kahi. Ua hoʻopiʻi pinepine au, akā i kēia lā ua maopopo iaʻu ke kumu! ʻino, manipulative, clingy, ʻo ia ʻo ia. ʻAʻole, ʻaʻole ʻo ia pili, kūʻē ʻo Xavier.
Pono ʻo ia i kahi hui liʻiliʻi a ʻo kā mākou kuleana ke hoʻokipa iā ia. Kū ʻo Xavier no kona makuahine. ʻOiai i ka wā hoʻomaha, ke hoʻolimalima ʻo ia i kahi hale ma kahi kokoke i kā mākou hale hoʻomaha. Hōʻike mai kekahi o ko mākou mau hoaaloha i ka laki o mākou i ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kupuna wahine ma laila e lawe mai iā Iris, akā ʻōlelo ʻoe! Ua kono ʻo Nanette iā ia iho i ka ʻaina ahiahi me mākou, hele pū me mākou i nā huakaʻi e kūpono iā ia, akā ʻaʻole loa e pāʻani i ke kahu hānai. Hele mai ʻo ia i kahakai me mākou, e leʻaleʻa i kāna Xavier, a hūnā ʻo ia iā ia me ka liʻiliʻi. I ka wā lōʻihi, ʻae ʻo ia iā ia iho e noʻonoʻo i koʻu kino. ʻAʻole pololei, akā ma ke ʻano pōʻai a me ke ʻano ʻino, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole makemake ʻo Xavier e lohe i kēlā huaʻōlelo. I ko mākou makemake e ʻai i kahi sanwī no ka ʻaina awakea ma nā kāwele kahakai, hāwanawana mai ʻo ia iaʻu e pono paha iaʻu e hoʻohana i ke kauwela e hana ai iaʻu i mea ʻai saladi liʻiliʻi. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia pēlā, e nānā ana i koʻu pūhaka. Hoʻokani ʻo ia i ke kāleka o ka connivance wahine, aʻo mai iaʻu i ka ʻaila slimming. ʻO kāna ala ia e haʻi mai iaʻu ua loaʻa iaʻu ke kaumaha. Makemake ʻo Plague, haʻi ʻo ia iā Iris i kēia manawa he 5 mau makahiki i ke ʻano o kona makuakāne i kona wā ʻōpio. ʻIke au e kamaʻilio mai ana ʻo ia iaʻu, akā naʻe iā Iris, i waenakonu pono o Oedipus, ua hōʻoia ʻo ia ʻo kona makuakāne ka mea nani loa a ʻo ia hoʻi, nā kaikamahine, ma nā wahi a pau ʻo ia. Huhu iā ia, ʻaʻole wau. He kāne maʻalahi kaʻu kāne i koʻu mau maka i kona makuahine. ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu ʻaʻole ʻo ia e ʻike i kāna huakaʻi leʻaleʻa. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke helu hou i nā manawa āna i koho ai iā ia, kūʻē i ko mākou hōʻoluʻolu a me ko mākou pilikino. ʻAʻole au e hoʻāʻo hou e hōʻoia iā ia ua pili loa kona makuahine iā ia. A laila, hoʻolei ʻo ia iaʻu i koʻu hemahema i koʻu mau mākua. Aia koʻu mau mākua ma ko lākou wahi. ʻAʻole lākou he poʻe komohewa, a ʻo lākou, ma ka liʻiliʻi, kiaʻi iā Iris i kēlā me kēia Pōʻakolu. Ke hana maikaʻi nei lākou iaʻu. E ʻai malu ana ʻo Xavier me kona makuahine. ʻAʻole ʻo ia e ʻaʻa e haʻi hou mai iaʻu, akā lawe ʻo ia iā ia iho e hana hewa. Ua kūʻai mai ʻo Nanette i hale ma ka ʻāina "i hiki iā Iris ke holo i ke kuaʻāina i nā hopena pule". I koʻu haʻi ʻana iā Xavier ʻaʻole pono mākou e hoʻopau i ko mākou mau hopena pule a pau me kona makuahine, ua pane koke ʻo ia: “Ua hāʻawi ʻo Nanette iā mākou i ka lumi hoʻokahi me ka lāʻau, ua hoʻokomo ʻia ʻo ia i kahi ʻauʻau. Hāʻawi ʻo ia iā mākou i kāna kaʻa i hiki iā mākou ke hele i laila me ka pilikia ʻole! ʻO Nanette ma ʻaneʻi, ʻo Nanette ma laila… ʻaʻohe kāne kāne kēia inoa kapakapa i loko o kona waha a ʻakaʻaka wau i kekahi manawa i kona alo.
Ua hoka loa au i kekahi manawa ke kānalua nei au e haʻalele iā ia e hoʻopau iā ia. Pono wau e kamaʻilio me Xavier. He aha ka mea e pono ai e hoʻōla iā ia iho? ʻIke ʻo ia i kēlā me kēia manawa ʻo ia e hōʻeha iaʻu, mai lalo a pololei paha? Ua kala mai ʻo ia no kona hiki ʻole ke ʻike ʻo wai maoli kona makuahine, me aʻu naʻe? Inā ʻaʻole ʻo ia, ʻaʻole loa wau e hoʻopau i ke kiʻi o kaʻu kāne e kulou ana i kona makuahine a e holo ana mai oʻu aku nei. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻole i hoʻolālā koke ʻia ke kūʻē ʻana iā ia, a ʻaʻole no kēia hopena pule: e hele ana mākou i ka ʻāina ma Nanette's, ʻaʻohe mea nāna e hoʻoponopono i kona puka hale kaʻa… ua hoʻolālā mua i kahi portico no Iris ”"!
