Summer’s eyes were moist with emotion. "I hate you for sweet talking me tonight-you made me feel so touched.”
"Only when you are touched, you will not leave me. I will only sweet talk you from now on." His voice became hoarse.
"No, I don't want it. I am having goosebumps all over m y body."
He chuckled. He chuckled, looking at her helplessly." Has anyone ever told you that you are a buzzkiller?"
She thought for a moment and chuckled. "Yeah, do you remember the first time we met? You sang I Can Love You Like That, and I sang Never Ever. I am not just a buzzkiller but also have an explosive energy and a dry sense of humor."
"I can see that." He played along. "Go back in. I will take Charlotte home."
"Okay. Remember to send her to school tomorrow morning. I won't go back tonight. But I am not sure about tomorrow. So I will call you then."
The next morning, when Summer woke up, Daisy was already awake. She was looking out of the window, appearing calm. But this behavior of Daisy was even
more confusing and frightening.
"Mom, do you want breakfast? I will buy you something downstairs. Do you prefer pumpkin soup o r hot chocolate?” Summer went over and asked in a soft voice.
Daisy was still very indifferent, as if Summer was a stranger to her. “No, thanks. Could you please call Forrest? Thank you."
