Daisy

Lilly was so animated while talking that it was hard not to smile. She was reminiscing about one of the adventures we’d taken with Theo in our early teens.

“I still can’t believe you jumped down that creek bank. I just knew you were going to break a leg.”

I laughed. “It was either that or get trampled by a bull.”

Theo interjected, “Not true. You could have taken the path, like we did.”

“Unfortunately I didn’t see that path until I was leaping through the air.”

We all laughed. And it felt like old times.

Lilly took a sip of her water, emptying it. She glanced around.

“Where’s Cooper? He’s been slacking again.”

Theo noticeably tensed. “I’ll go look for him.”

“You’re always chasing after him. Sit your ass down and we’ll see what he has to say when he shows up.”

The joy that had been there a moment ago vanished. Theo looked worried. How many times had Cooper messed up? Was he at risk for ending up on the wall duty?

“You can take my water,” I offered.

She smiled and took my glass, taking a long swig. I pushed my food around on my plate, trying to hide that my appetite wasn’t there. I was too nervous to eat, thinking about all the what if’s.

I glanced at Elijah. He was so sure he was making the right choice by staying, but I thought he was wrong. We should be leaving with Grey and Kat tonight, not waiting!

Lilly said, “You keep giving him doe-eyes. Are y’all talking about getting married?”

Her question surprised me. Did marriage even mean anything in the apocalypse?

“We haven’t really thought about it.”

She said, “Let me know if you do. You might be able to convince me to let you use your mom’s old ring as a wedding band.”

And… the bitch was back.

I forced a smile. “Thanks, Lilly. I’ll keep that in mind.”

If she noticed that my words were strained she didn’t comment. Instead, she talked to Theo about a supply run they were planning. Elijah caught my gaze and gave me a slight smile. I looked at the empty seats at the end of the table. Good! Maybe Grey and Kat had gotten away.

Lilly poked my arm. “I’m going to smoke a joint. Come outside when you’re done.”

Only my cousin would be able to procure weed in the apocalypse. Hell, she was probably growing it somewhere on the property. She got up and was almost to the door when Cooper came rushing in from the kitchen. He said something into her ear and her face turned bright pink.

She was pissed.

I glanced down at my plate. Just because she was angry didn’t mean anything, but I was scared that she knew something about Grey and Kat. What else could Cooper say to make her that mad? I tried to rationalize the situation. There was no way she knew what was happening back in the bunks. No one knew.

Lilly said, “Theo, get your ass over here right now.”

He dropped his fork and was across the room a moment later.
