The very next morning, Rose woke up to the sound of Daisy pulling the curtains open to let the lovely sunshine into the room.
"Good morning Miss Rose!" said Daisy. Rose yawned and greeted her back, "A good morning to you too Daisy." It was a good morning, she thought, especially since she did not have any intrusive dreams about Mister Rickhorn last night!
But then Rose saw Daisy's face. Her eyes were puffy and red.
"Daisy, have you been crying?" she asked with a gasp as she wasn't used to seeing the cheerful and bright Daisy in such a state.
Daisy turned to Rose and tried to force a smile but failed. Soon after her lips started to tremble and before Rose could ask what was wrong, Daisy started to cry loudly.
Rose was startled to say the least and stood up to quickly embrace the sobbing mess that was Daisy.
