Terms and Conditions

Iris wakes up, still in her dress and make-up, and finds a text from Declan that she has the day off. Assuming he is still working on a Saturday, as he normally does, she dances out to the kitchen, only to find him cutting vegetables. He tells her he has planned another fake date for them, and they have to be ready in an hour.

Finding Declan in the garage standing by an unfamiliar car, Iris learns that Declan has also given Harrison the day off. He will be driving them himself in his mother’s car, which he keeps in excellent condition and drives once a month. Iris begins to fall harder the more she sees the real person underneath Declan’s hard exterior. She wants to learn more about his mother and about him, so she offers a deal, agreeing to share something about herself if he shares, as well. To her shock, he says he wants her to tell him about her dyslexia. She doesn’t believe him at first when he says he figured it out for himself, so he tells her that his mother had it.

Iris shares her experiences with dyslexia. When she asks if Declan only kept her around because of his feelings about his mother, Declan assures her that he kept her on because she was an excellent worker.
