After my discussion with Diana, I fell into a deep, dreamless sleep. I woke up around noon feeling like I was making the right decision.
I took a long shower to clear my mind and then took my time getting ready for my day. I would need all the confidence I could muster.
I was putting my hair in a loose ponytail when I heard my cell phone ring. Victor’s name was on the caller ID screen.
“Good morning, Daisy,” Victor said after I answered. His voice was light and teasing. “Or should I say good afternoon? I hope you slept well.”
“I slept okay,” I said as I applied a little lip gloss. It was the one cosmetic I now used regularly.
“I hope William didn’t keep you talking for very long last night. You looked tired when I left.” His super casual tone made me think he was fishing for answers.
