Daisy Zane had been by Kevin Clark's side all day, even having lunch with him.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon when she was in the living room, staring at the blank computer screen, trying to come up with a design, that she heard the sound of a door opening.
It was her room door opening, very faint, but she heard it.
James Collins had arrived.
Kevin Clark also heard the sound; he looked up from the heap of code in front of him and glanced at Daisy Zane.
Daisy gave no indication of wanting to go out and check; she merely closed her laptop, placed the peeled grapes from the tea table on top of it, and began eating them one by one.
Only when she was halfway through eating did she remember that the person who had peeled the grapes was still sitting next to her.
She grabbed the plate and passed it over.
Kevin Clark looked up, and said softly, "I'm good, you keep eating."
Daisy withdrew her hand, continuing to eat. It was his choice not to eat after all.
