In a flashback from Tom’s perspective, Tom walks Daisy home from school for the third time and resolves to finally kiss her. Daisy happily tells Tom about a health fair where she is volunteering that weekend and invites him to help. Tom agrees immediately because he wants to please Daisy, and Daisy also asks whether Slug will come.

Trying to spend more time with Daisy, Tom suggests lunch before the event, but Daisy says she is too busy. Tom briefly worries that Daisy may be pulling away from him, but Daisy reassures him by suggesting they meet on Sunday after church instead. Tom notes that his family does not attend church because his father forbids it, and Tom also feels uneasy about churches.

As they continue walking, Tom notices a daisy growing nearby and picks it for Daisy, expecting the gesture to delight her. Instead, Daisy is upset because Tom has killed the flower by pulling it from the ground. Tom is surprised by her reaction, apologizes, and solemnly promises that he will never kill a flower again. Daisy softens and comforts him, restoring the warm mood between them.

Daisy then draws closer, and Tom finally kisses her. Daisy praises him and reveals that this was her first kiss, saying she had always thought Tom would be the one. Tom lies and says it was his first kiss too, relieved that she cannot discover otherwise.

The scene ends on a disturbing note. While kissing Daisy and admiring her small, delicate body, Tom thinks about how easily he could break her neck. After Daisy pulls away, Tom notices that the daisy he picked has fallen beneath his shoe, with its petals crushed on the pavement.
