I guess she is kinda different. She's been helping us a lot. With the breachers, and Zoom. Plus, there was all the stuff with finding out Joe lied about her mom being dead, and then her mom actually dying, and taking care of Wally cause he went kinda off the rails a little after his mom died and Iris had to kind of step up and be a big sister to him.
[ He talks as Eddie pulls his shirt off, loud enough to be heard over the water. Some of this he'd heard from Iris, some from Joe, some from Barry. The changes had happened gradually enough that Cisco didn't see them necessarily, but when he thinks back to the way Iris had been around the time she first learned Barry's secret, or back when she'd been running her anonymous blog, he realizes she's quite a bit different. They all are.
And he lists these other things because Eddie wanted Cisco to catch him up, and also so he'll realize that it isn't all down to losing him. Some of it, yes. But not all of it. ]
I might have overheard something about her going on a date with the editor of her paper. That was like, a couple days before I came back here. I don't think she went out with anyone before that, but it's possible she did and I just didn't hear about it.
[ Cisco doesn't know if it would be better or worse for Eddie, hearing that Iris had taken almost a year to go on another date. On the one hand, it might make him feel guilty for the grief he'd caused her. On the other hand, if she'd moved on too quickly, that would probably make him feel insignificant, unimportant. Hopefully it's not a lose-lose situation.
He kicks off his shoes and socks, strips down the rest of the way and tests the temperature of the water, but he keeps his eyes on Eddie, cautious, concerned. ]
