You’re going back to your room, calling your wife, and telling her you love her. You’re going to talk to your daughter, let her tell you all about fingerpainting. And you’re going to forget this ever happened the second you walk out that door. It’s what Daisy wants to say, what she knows she should say. The hotel room smells of her perfume, his cologne, and sex, and she feels warm; not from the sun, not from the body beside her, but something else. Daisy knows it’s wrong to want to keep this up, because of Camila and little Julia, but Jesus, she can’t help how she feels. Billy understands her struggles, her demons, and maybe she has a suspicion what drove him to her room at all, but... He did that himself. Why did it have to also be on her plate to worry about Camila? To carry that guilt? Daisy wasn’t the one with a ring on her finger.
That moral compass she was holding onto? Shattered.
When he pulls her closer for a kiss, she lays a hand against his cheek, the stubble prickling against her palm, and she can feel the desperation from him. It’s not sexual as it was the night before, but something else that Daisy prays she never has to understand; being pulled in two directions. “Nothing,” the redhead mutters in reply, her nose brushing his, her lips softly kissing his cheek. “There’s no us,” then moving to his jaw, “There’s no we.” Whatever happens between them is bound to crash and burn, Daisy already knowing she’s going to be the one holding the gasoline canister to divert focus from Billy.
No one expects Billy Dunne to be caught in an affair, but they do expect it of Daisy Jones.
Pulling away suddenly, she reaches over to the phone on the nightstand, tucking the receiver between her ear and shoulder. "Hi, this is Lola La Cava in room 204, and I would love a pot of the strongest coffee you have, and whatever danishes are your favorite. M'hm. The same one on file, yep. Thank you. Oh, just leave it outside, I'll get it," bright, forced tone falls as she hangs up, Daisy then opening the side drawer open and removing a small gold container. Palming it and popping it into her mouth, she takes a sip from the water glass on the dark oak table. If they were going to have this kind of talk, she at least didn't want to be totally sober for it; face everything head on? Impossible.
Looking over the slope of her shoulder now, Daisy breathes deeply. "What do you want to do?"
