Daisies

Robin is spending his holiday in a small village in Wiltshire. He meets a young girl, Emma, who is making daisy chains and, in spite of his reluctance, at first, to engage in conversation she seems to have a power over him. Their conversation seems strange as Emma talks about fairies and how they have a sort of power over life and death. Emma falls in love with Robin in spite of their age difference but it took several years for this to become evident. Many years later, Robin realises the truth of the fairies having power over life and death when Emma dies and he uses daisies to keep her memory alive.
