Lily appeared uneasy when Officer Daniels made his request. “Do you think you’re my dad or something? I’m fine,” she retorted. Daniels persisted, but Lily interrupted him, asserting, “You don’t understand. I can’t wear shoes. They’ll find out. Now I’m running late for school.” Without giving Daniels a chance to respond, Lily hurried off towards the high school. Left speechless, a peculiar sensation continued to gnaw at Daniels, intensifying his unease.
