Chapter 277: Making Up With Daisy

I dragged her downstairs to my apartment, leaving one of the girls from the kitchen in charge of the front desk, knowing she'd be fine since I didn't have any new guests coming today. Within moments I was sitting on my sofa with Daisy at my side, Petunia between us, the pair of us retreating from an enthusiastic hug that healed everything, as far as I was concerned.

Daisy wiped at her nose with the tissue she liberated from the box on the coffee table, blowing delicately before crumpling it in her hand, clutched in her lap like a lifeline.

"I've been such a terrible friend." Her voice shook just a little as I helped myself to my own tissue and wiped at the tears on my face, my nose clearing effort far less dainty than hers. Petunia licked her lips, rocking from one front foot to the other as she looked back and forth between us as if sensing we'd made up and was happy for the fact.
