Daisy gave her a look of interrogation, “Who were you on the phone with, acting all cloak and dagger?”

his car without making a scene?

Can you wait at the corner instead?”

“Why?”

“It’s too conspicuous Mom’s bound to walk us out, and if she sees us getting into your car, she’ll get suspicious,” Jocelyn was genuinely looking out for him.
