What Daisy Ginger was thinking could no longer be discerned from her calm exterior.
The grief for Alice Lesser's recent death also seemed to have settled down, neatly packed away by her.
Edward Stephens couldn't stay in Banyan City for long. He thought to wait until Daisy calmed down a bit, then discuss with her about moving to the United States with him.
Winters in Los Angeles are warmer than those in Banyan City, and Daisy should like it.

It was night.
Edward Stephens walked in with a bowl of seafood noodles.
Daisy was curled up on the bed, still asleep. Edward turned on a small lamp and, in the dim light, looked at her slightly flushed, sleeping face.
Then he reached out, gently nudged her, and called her awake.
When Daisy woke up, she stared blankly for a moment, seemingly not recognizing who he was at first.
After a while, she made a small movement and slowly sat up from the bed.
Edward handed her the noodles, "Eat before you sleep again."
