I’ve noticed that Daisy curses more when she’s irritated Which is fine But I’m sure ourto forget about Daisy’s foul mouth

And that’s precisely why I don’t care if she swears a lot or not at all Do what she wants to do, I say Daisy needs to be Daisy for a change, and I’m actually excited to see her away from my mother’s neurotic, maternal claws

She settles down and sets her elbow on h to be her arm-rest “Lil,” Daisy says, “I know Lo isn’t here, but I proht No rehab talk Nothat’ll remind you of him Nada, okay? It’s just me and you and a bunch of friends”

“You mean a bunch of attractive people” I use the correct tery I a a beach, Baywatch-style, and cause a wave of boners Or they could walk down a runway and you’d probably be staring at their face more than their clothes

At least I would

Does that liest person here? I’irl I nod Okay I’m cool with that Surrounded by 10s and I’m probably a 6 I’ll take it

She blows out sood looking Mark looks like a gerbil in bad lighting His eyes are too close together”

“And he gets booked for jobs?”

She nods with a goofy s You know, the bushy brows, gap-tooth sorta look”

“Huh” I try to find Mark and his gerbil-ness, but he’s nowhere to be found

“I kinda wish I had a cooler signature trait”

Signature traits? Sounds like getting a badass patronus in the Wizarding World Though I’m sure mine would be lame too Like a squirrel

“Yeah, but I think she coirl from The Little Princess”

Daisy’s lips twitch with a smile “Did you just compare our sister to a villain?”

“Hey, a villain with good hair,” I defend “She would appreciate that” At least, I hope so

Daisy finishes off her cigarette and snubs it in a crystal ashtray on the fireplace lad you’re here”

“You keep saying that”

“Well I am You’re always so busy I feel like we really haven’t talked e”

I feel even worse Being soand lonely Me being an addict and shunning lad I’e, honest sest test since Lo’s absence, at least I know I did so tiress Just a different kind

All of a sudden, her eyes light up “I have an idea” She grabs my hand before I can protest We exit the apartment and head for the hallway She sprints towards the stairwell, tuggingin tow

I’ used to this new impulsive Daisy Who, Rose informed me, has apparently been around for the past two years When we moved into our new house, we invited Daisy to help decorate On her tour through the four-bedroom villa, she spotted the pool in the backyard No mind that it’s still winter A mischievous smile warped her face, and she climbed out of Rose’s bedroom , onto the roof and prepared to juh
