“Five More Minutes” Indeed
If Daisy hasn’t woken up yet from Rose trying to drag her out of bed, it’s probably not going to happen…
She TIRED
One day, Mercy is going to put Rose through a wall…
It’s Gonna Be A Bit Longer Than 5 minutes
Daisy’s so burned out, she could probably sleep through the apocalypse.
A Bit More Than 5 Minutes Later
She had to wake up sooner or later!
Resistance Is Futile
Daisy seriously doesn’t know how to take a day off. She believes the diner might burn down without her there, or that Candice might foreclose on it.
Also Daisy & Rose both live with their parents. Daisy can afford her loan payments or a decent apartment, but not both. Rose is lazy, irresponsible, and in general bad with money.

The good news is, Daisy’s new assistant manager isn’t Rose, as she feared! I’m not sure she’d find this to be much better, though.
Something I can’t quite convey on the page – the way I hear the characters in my head, is Lily has a song-bird like inflection to her voice, like Disney’s Snow White, or the good witch from The Wizard of Oz. She’s chipper nearly all the time. Mercy, on the other hand, sounds much more like Maleficent. Her words just ooze bitterness and spite. But on this page? Mercy’s doing an impression of her sister (Lily) that’s so spot-on, for people who know her I doubt it could be anything other than unsettling.

Sooner or later I need to do a chapter that flashes back to Aimee getting hired at the diner, or even just a chapter that shows how bad her anxiety can be. So far I’ve done more telling than showing, on that front. In the meantime, her safe-space won’t feel so safe, between Mercy’s 180 and Mary just casually claiming to be a werewolf…
