Hope

Daisy was at ease with Marcel's torture and Edward's consolation. Even while she still wants to spend her alone time with Edward, she is powerless against the surge of feelings she is experiencing. She reluctantly excused herself from Edward after deciding what was best.

"Edward, I'm really feeling better, and I appreciate your concern. Please excuse me, but I need to use the restroom."

"Oh.. You're welcome, and you can go wherever you want to. I was about to leave for class myself. So goodbye, Daisy" Edward responded in some way... nervously?

Edward felt anxious?

When Daisy noticed Edward putting his things away, she was overcome with thought. When she saw the water bottle in her hands, she uttered,

"Your water bottle, Edward, here take it," she said, extending her hand to the bottle. But he quickly cut her off, lowering it and cautiously saying, "You... you can keep it, I don't need it, you need it more... Don't worry, though; I'll get a new one."

Daisy made the decision to look up at Edward after noticing a difference in his demeanour and monotone voice; there was a cautiousness in it as if he were struggling to find the right words.

"But, Ed," she said, only for her eyes to enlarge and notice that

Edward was blushing, I think.

She was being blushed at by Edward Leo!

Edward saw her bewildered reaction and stopped her before she could go any further by covering his face with the other hand's backside and left from there.

Daisy remained there, taking in the entire moment, which had only been a few minutes. She turned toward the bathroom after a period of time she couldn't estimate and couldn't help but think.

The manner in which Edward's fingers encircled the back of her hand.

The tactful way Edward led her away from everyone else to a private location.

The way Edward made sure she was okay the entire time by staying by her side.

She resisted the impulse to grab his hand, which was delicately wrapped around her hand.

Edward encouraged her to drink water to be hydrated and manage her anxiety by giving her his own water bottle.

How Edward resisted returning the bottle.

She noticed Edward's blushing in his face.

She recalled Edward's blushing as well as the shift in his demeanour and tone. Yes, Edward's behaviour has altered significantly in the past.

When he noticed her confused, he felt like he did in "Rage."

He was "Pissed" while referring to Marcel.

I was panting hard and he was "Concerned".

He was "Cautious" in his use of language to ensure that he wouldn't have any problems if I left, but I got the impression that he did.

But most significantly

He was "Blushing" when he was staring at me!

These things all gave me "Hope".

It's possible. He felt humiliated.

Or, perhaps.

He also likes me...

She cleansed her face and headed to class when she noticed.
