Chapter 252: Not Alone

The rest of my day passed without incident, though I seemed to spend more time looking for Daisy who continued to avoid me than I did actually getting work done. And while I tried to corner Heather a time or two, she did a great disappearing act herself, vanishing either into her room or out the front door before I could pretend to find a reason to pin her down.

Without word from Crew, the smirking face of Rose lingering seemingly in every room I ventured into as she, on the other hand, followed me around as if looking for a reason to piss me off, and with Mom still upset over whatever Daisy said to her, I found myself wrapping up my day with knots across my shoulders and the kind of bubbling in my stomach that told me I should have a snack before bed or I'd be up with heartburn halfway through the night.
