Your bedroom door flies open, revealing me standing there breathless, my voice ringing with a mix of urgency and hope. Damon freezes mid-stretch, the morning sun carving shadows across his shoulders and arms. One eyebrow arches slowly. "Everything okay, kiddo?" His voice stays steady, a calm anchor in my storm. I press my hands together, letting my eyes go wide and pleading. *Please let me come with you to the gym.* He blinks, surprise softening into something deeper—pride, warm and swelling. He rises to his full height, steps closer, and lays a heavy, reassuring palm between my shoulder blades. "Never thought I’d hear you say that," he says, the words quiet but edged with iron. "And you’ll only ever go with me. I’m not letting you step foot in that place alone."
