My head spins as we walk down the street back to my apartment. Daisy follows behind quietly. Tommy Lee being involved means things are not going to end well. I wonder if he has Sparrow? I know its something I will have to pursue in a bit. I turn to Daisy. Her eyes are full of tears.
“Jackson… I’m so sorry.”
I could scream at her. Could make a scene on this shuttered street and nobody would notice. But I’m tired. Daisy’s tired. I put my hand on the back of her head, run my fingers through her hair, and pull her close. Her head leans into my shoulder, and I hold her there, wanting to protect her from her demons, even if just for a moment.
“Come on Daisy, lets get you some food.”
Were back at my place, Daisy is taking a shower, and I’m cooking some breakfast for the both of us, when the knock comes from the door.
