Barry's POV

I forget about Kara's behavior and decide to ask Iris out.

"Hey Iris," I say.

"Yeah Barry?" She asks, turning around.

"Would you maybe wanna go out?" I ask, rubbing the back of my neck.

"What about Kara?" She asks, clearly confused.

"Oh we agreed to stop because we were both miserable," I answer.

"Then no." She says firmly, spinning in her heel and walking away.

I stand there, dumbfounded. Why did she say no? Why did she ask about Kara?

These questions nag me for the rest of the day. 

I ask Joe, "Is it just me or is Iris acting weird?"

"Why?"

"She said no when I asked her out. And she asked about Kara."

"She probably didn't want to hurt Kara more than you have already," he says, poking my chest.

"Oh?" I ask before walking away.
