Miles pressed the Enter key.
Ryan Rhodes, mortified, instantly squeezed his eyes shut.
Daisy Garrison's face was deathly pale, her heart pounding with anxiety.

Daisy Garrison's voice came from the player. "Leah, come and eat."
This was followed by the sound of a dining chair scraping and the clinking of a bowl and chopsticks.
Daisy Garrison asked, "Did Mr. Rhodes say anything during your few days in Calderin?"
Leah Rhodes answered listlessly, "No."
Daisy Garrison said, "Your uncle is a very busy man. It's understandable that he can't possibly devote too much energy to looking after you."
Leah Rhodes didn't say anything.
Daisy Garrison added, "After all, besides your daddy and me, no one will ever truly be good to you unconditionally."
Leah Rhodes still didn't respond.
It was clear this recording was from after Leah Rhodes had returned to Port Vesper a couple of days ago.
