Summary
“Jon,” says Daisy, and Jon quiets, dropping his chin and hunching his shoulders. Daisy sighs. “If you don’t want me to say anything, I’ll drop it,” she says, more gently. “But it’s not silly.”
Jon draws a deep breath, and then lets it out without speaking.
Daisy turns triumphantly towards Martin. “Will you hug him for me, please?”

Daisy keeps asking Martin to hug Jon. Martin’s not sure why. (Not that he’s complaining, of course!)
