Fifty five

DAISY POV

"We see each other at the fighting club, I wait for him after my lessons before I am picked up. Sometimes we have a meal together or ice cream."

I could remember how she wasn't hungry most nights, I had thought she was simply tired and hadn't forced her to eat. It turned out she had already eaten.

"And what do you guys talk about?"

"Different stuff. I mostly talk about my fighting lessons, and he listens."

"Ah! Did he know about Rigel?"

"No, I didn't tell him."

"Why didn't you tell him?"

"I didn't want to share him." she looked away bashfully.

I smiled at her reaction.

"Will he come back? You didn't scare him away right?" she asked.

"No, I didn't, he will be back."

"Okay, I can't wait..."

Declan would be back whether he liked it or not.

I didn't care about our relationship but he wasn't going to leave his daughter.
