“Just this call is proof!” Theo snapped.
Gabriel’s smile deepened. He murmured something low, causing Theo to fall silent immediately.
“I don’t appreciate dealing with fools. But since you’re Jane’s cousin, I’ll let it go this time. If there’s a next time…” Gabriel warned.
He didn’t finish before Theo quickly replied, “Gabriel, don’t worry. That recording was all my doing nothing to do with you. I just lost my head for a moment, so don’t take it personally.”
He added, “If that’s all, Gabriel, I’ll be hanging up now. I’ve got a few things I need to do.”
Without waiting for Gabriel’s response, Theo hastily ended the call.
Gabriel set his phone down and looked out the window into the dark night, his eyes soft with thought. Soon, he’d finally be able to be with Nyla.
At Damon’s villa…
Nyla was playing with Mason in the living room when she sneezed.
Damon and Mason both turned to her, their faces full of concern.
“Mommy, are you okay?” Mason asked.
“Are you coming down with something?” Damon asked, speaking in unison with Mason.
Nyla shook her head. “I’m fine. It was just a sneeze. Let’s keep playing.”
“Are you really sure you’re okay?” Damon asked again.
Nyla confirmed, “Yeap, really. You keep playing with Buddy. I’m just going upstairs to grab
a sweater.”
“Alright,” Damon replied.
Once she disappeared upstairs, Damon glanced back down to continue playing with Mason.
“Daddy, I want to go hiking. Can you and Mommy take me this weekend?” Mason asked.
Damon raised an eyebrow. “Why hiking all of a sudden?”
“My deskmate’s mom and dad took her hiking over the weekend. She showed me all the pictures. We don’t have any pictures of the three of us together,” Mason replied, his eyes filled with envy.
Seeing other kids‘ dads pick them up from school used to make Mason wish his father
could do the same. Now, seeing other kids‘ family photos, he couldn’t help but want the same for himself.
Damon’s chest tightened with a mix of emotions–regret for missing the first five Mason’s life and gratitude for the chance to reconnect with him and Nyla now.
Pushing down his swirling feelings, he looked at Mason and said, his voice slightly rough, ” Alright, we’ll take you this weekend. And we’ll take lots of photos.”

“Thanks, Daddy!” Mason cheered, quickly jumping up to hug Damon around the neck and planting a quick kiss on his cheek.
The warm feeling in Damon’s heart spread like melted marshmallows, and he couldn’t help but smile.
Nyla came downstairs, spotting the father and son leaning close together. She cleared her throat and asked, “What are you two talking about?”
Mason looked up at her, practically bouncing with excitement. “Mommy, Daddy said he’d take us hiking this weekend!”
Nyla chuckled and tapped his nose lightly. “When did I say I’d take you hiking this weekend?”
“Well, you
could agree now too,” Damon quipped.
Mason looked up at her with a pleading expression, shaking her hand and asking, ” Mommy, please?”
