He tried explaining it to people, but they never really believed him. He always felt like that girl was watching him, telling him what to do. Daisy tells a story one night about how she practiced with her parents at the lake to see how long she could swim under water. Miles is relieved that she is okay, but mad that she never told anyone. On page 352, Miles says, “I was on the boat. The one Daisy swam under. Only I didn’t see her. All this time I thought the girl-I mean Daisy-had drowned and I hadn’t been able to save her.” That statement helped me understand how he felt and how he thought she was dead.…
