Chapter 36

Jo jerked her head back toward her living room. “I have people over right now.”

“Please.” Tears started in Daisy’s eyes.

Declan had swiveled his head in their direction—probably to check Jo out while her back was turned, but whatever his motivation, Daisy didn’t want him to see her cry. She retreated behind the doorframe so she became invisible to everyone except for Jo.

“I asked you, like, a million times what was going on with you. I gave you so many chances.”

Daisy shook her head. “I’m sorry. I wanted to talk to you every time, but I just couldn’t.”

Jo sighed loudly, her shoulders moving with more drama than necessary. “Fine. Give me a sec.”

She ducked back into the house. Daisy crept from her vantage point and idly watched her making flirty excuses to Declan. Nico and Iris had taken the interruption as an opportunity to start making out as if their lives depended on it. Daisy cringed, thinking of Emmy.
