Daisy returned and joined me for a cup of tea herself, her huge, gray eyes wide when I filled her in on what happened all day. She shook her head in horror, hand over her mouth, when I told her about Mom and grasped my wrist when I was done, tears standing in her gaze.
"Fee, I'm so sorry." Her voice trembled when she spoke. "I got a call from Rose late last night. I had to drive to Montpelier to help her." She flushed as I frowned at her.
"Rose?" I had nothing. Who was Rose?
Daisy didn't meet my eyes again, helping herself to another sugar cube which she popped directly in her mouth instead of her tea. "You might not remember her. She was Dad's second wife's daughter."
