@Rory had sent Daysha the text asking about the time and place the day before. She didn’t know where this guy was going. She knew he had a lot to process, but Daysha also knew you can’t help those who don’t want to be helped. She had replied to Rory’s text with the address of a diner and changed the time to the evening. It was slower and less crowded then. I’m sure that didn’t make him happy. Her giving-a-shit factor had diminished a lot since the Spiral. Still, the only reason she kept with the hunt was for her family, namely Aaron. Although Rory may have had some issues coming to terms with things, maybe she could actually talk to him with some level of maturity. Unlike some people.
It was a hole in the wall diner where no one cared who you were, what you did or what you talked about. A leftover restaurant was from a few years ago where everyone tried to capitalize on nostalgia coming back. It was California and of course people here would try to keep up with the Joneses. The food was great; it just wasn’t fancy. Daysha’s dad and some of his cop buddies frequented the place. She was sure dad went there a lot because of the mirrors in the back corner where Daysha took a seat. She ordered black coffee and sat looking toward the door waiting for Rory. She forced pleasant look with a half smile on her face.
I probably shouldn’t assume what happened after Lexi and Rory left. But lately I don’t put much past Lexi right now.
