Daisy Ginger realized that she could now accept the fact that Edward Stephens liked Emily Ginger with a calm heart.
What was once unbelievable, now talking about it, felt quite plain.
The capacity of human acceptance can indeed be astonishing.
She ate her fill, stood up from the sofa, and nodded towards Edward Stephens: "I want to take another nap. I'll call you when I wake up."
Edward didn't say anything, just wiped his hands in a slow and deliberate manner. Daisy knew he heard her and didn't say anything further, then lifted the blanket and went back to sleep.
She felt a bit tired facing Edward, but this little bit of tiredness couldn't shake her strong obsession of eight years.

Daisy took another nap.
This nap lasted until nearly nine in the morning.
She sent a text message to Oliver Rubio, telling him she was taking a leave today, then called Edward Stephens to come pick her up.
Half an hour later, she was all washed and dressed.
