Daisy kept her head down almost the entire time since arriving at the Kingsley mansion. She had been invited after Marla and Miles explained to Thomas and Evelyn that she might be the key to helping bring Theo back.

The golden roast chicken, warm rolls in a basket, and soft mushroom risotto, still letting out gentle wisps of steam, remained untouched.
"Have a seat," Thomas finally broke the silence, his eyes still fixed on the table.
Marla and Miles, who had been standing, quickly took their seats.
"Did you two have a fight?" Thomas raised his head, his gaze falling on Daisy, who looked startled.
"A—uh?" Daisy blinked, caught off guard. "We… Yes, we had a bit of a fight just before it happened. I went to the toilet, and when I came back, he was already…" She trailed off, nodding instead of finishing her sentence.
