“This place doesn’t have all that negative shit that comes with my mother. Every day it is the same curses and slander of everyone I know. Laura, Anna, and Amy are always on the tip of her tongue. I liked Anna in school, and because I listened to the crap spilling from my own parents’ lips, she won’t even talk to me.” She took another sip of her drink. “I deserve it. I was a bitch.”
She tossed the glass back. She passed the glass back to Peter. “Can I have a refill?”
“Daisy, I think you should be getting home.”
“No. Not after what that woman told me today. Please, I need another fucking refill.”
William was intrigued by the stirring in his blood. Her bad language could be curbed with the right amount of training. He nodded his head at Peter to refill her glass.
“Do you mind me asking what’s on your mind?” he asked her.
Daisy stared at him. Her eyes were glazed over. “You’re the new guy in town right? The man who is interested in beating women or whatever they’re calling this place?”
“Not entirely true, but I don’t expect people to understand what they refuse to learn.”
“That’s true. Cape Falls refuses to learn no matter what.”
Peter handed her the drink, which she took in one long gulp.
“Another.”
William stared at Peter.
“Look, guys, don’t you think I deserve it?” Daisy asked.
“Tell me why, and then I’ll consider letting my man here get you another drink,” William said turning to her.
“I need the drink because I just found out from my mother that I’m related to the Steer brothers.” William frowned. “I’m Paul and David Steer’s half fucking sister.”
“Get her a drink, and get me a phone,” William said to Peter.
