Ohhh I really really love this. The Z/Tennessee relationship is sweet and perfect, and I love the emotions here most of all, I think, it's so pitch-perfect and raw and true to life in an achy, lovely way. Awesome.

Thank you! I'm so glad the Z/Tennessee worked; it was difficult navigating it when the Z-Charlotte relationship was so important.

Z didn't answer. Tennessee sighed and rolled over, scooping up her daisies. A moment later Z looked up from her perfect chain to find Tennessee stuffing tiny white daisies between her lips. She widened her eyes at Z and lurched to her knees, giving a horrific zombie groan and spilling daisies like rabid froth from her mouth.

Z broke into husky giggles and grabbed her, grappling her to the ground as Tennessee spewed daisies. Z sat on her while Tennessee thrashed and pulled horrible faces, till she choked on a daisy and started to cough. Then Z rolled off, laughing at Tennessee as she fished the stem out of her mouth, poking her tongue out and making little th-th-th sounds like a cat spitting up grass.
uggggh, Tennessee!!! stoppit.

"It's a thing," Tennessee said, waving a hand. "Like a nose stud. I wear a daisy nose stud now. Daisy nose studs are cool."
seriously. I cannot handle this much adorable all at once!

In conclusion, Tennessee is my favourite ♥ (the others aren't half-bad either *g*)

Thank you so much! Tennessee was my favourite too. And the daisy scene was my favourite to write.

This was so, so precious! Daisies! The background heartbreak of losing a friendship was very well done. And, well, they are all just so cute! :D

Oh hi! I'm pretty fond of the daisies, no lie :D
