A Version Of The Fake Boyfriend Trick

Rukelion noticed a pattern in the following months. Whenever he came home from the therapist's office—which didn't get any easier to deal with—Daisy was especially nice to him. Sometimes she cuddled him, sometimes she kissed him, and she made love to him a few times he was particularly wrung out. 

He felt oddly like he was being rewarded for doing as she had asked. Wonderful as it was, it was also confusing and hurt his already shattered heart because he didn't know if it meant anything to her or if she simply felt sorry for him. 

Amy made things worse by frequently questioning his relationship with Daisy or trying to tell him he needed to have a life outside of her. That wasn't possible since she was all that he cared about.
