Daisy agreed to spend the night in Liberty’s room and Christopher arranged for Anthony to drive her back to The Farm in the morning. John had been notified, and we had an all vegan meal in their honor. “These tacos are pretty good,” Dallas said with surprise. “I thought vegans couldn’t eat cheese,” Tulsa whispered to me. “John said something about this not containing any animal products,” I whispered back. “So it’s milk-less cheese?” Tulsa grimaced. “Glad I didn’t know that before I ate it.” By the time John brought out some vegan chocolate-chip ice cream for dessert, I had to admit that it all tasted pretty good and was probably pretty healthy. But I wasn’t ready to give up chicken, eggs and beef any time soon. Christopher had gone straight home after the hospital visit. I missed him and yet I was glad he wasn’t there because I could relax. We sat around the pool and watched the sunset while Liberty and Daisy told us funny stories about life on the commune. Daisy was petite like Liberty and very attractive with a light, infectious laugh and gentle brown eyes. It was easy to see why Roger had been attracted to her. She must have been a knockout twenty years ago when they met.
