Story
The story
Iris has spent two years bending her life around Mark, a brilliant lab prodigy whose time is measured to the minute. When she is six minutes late, he ends their date early; when a cut finger delays her, he cancels outright. Yet Jenny reveals that Mark waited twenty minutes for Fiona without complaint, sat two hours at a bistro while her food went cold, and stood three hours outside a lecture hall just to walk her home. Lines he loathes, he endures for Fiona alone.
After a couple's contest win and a shared dorm-bed photo, Iris stops explaining herself. She files a major transfer to Earth Sciences and applies for a confidential wilderness expedition, choosing a path that is finally her own.
Mark and Fiona are the department's golden students; Iris retook her entrance exams a full year just to stand beside him. Now she wonders whether he will even notice her leaving.
Opening excerpt
That evening was the eighteenth time Mark refused to meet me at my dorm. Frustrated, I nudged his chest; he tapped my forehead. “My time’s valuable, Iris. Could’ve read two journal articles waiting for you.” He checked his watch. “Six minutes, twenty-six seconds late. Date ends six minutes early.”
These are the opening lines of chapter 1. Keep reading →
