Do you have to go? Elsie asks.
Iris is sat, not nibbling on marmite toast.
It’s good for us. It’s good
for you that we’re in love.
No, she says, frustrated by
my lack of knowledge.
It’s a line from Frozen.
‘Do you have to go?’
Iris bites her lip, bravely.
It’s what Elsa says just
before her parents die.
Enough! I say
and Iris starts to cry.
