Maya's POV
The relationship between Damon and me had taken a turn for the better. He was more attentive lately, reminiscent of our earlier days together, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was still off. Whatever troubled him remained unspoken as he continued insisting everything was fine. Meanwhile, preparations for Stella and Adrian's wedding kept us all busy.
I was just leaving the boutique with the girls after finalizing our wedding attire when my phone buzzed. Seeing Damon's name on the screen, I stepped away from the group to take his call.
"Tiny one, are you finished shopping with the girls?" His voice carried that familiar weariness that had become so common lately.
"Yes, just wrapping up. Stella's giving me a ride back to the apartment."
