Maya's POV
I couldn't help but notice the sudden shift between Damon and Cole. They had moved apart from each other, and Damon's demeanor had completely changed—he seemed agitated and tense. Something was definitely off. As I observed them, Cole's worried expression only deepened my concern. I was about to approach them when Lana called out to me.
"Maya, are you really getting married in fifteen days?" Her voice carried the same tension I'd spotted in Damon.
"Why do you ask?" I was confused by her sudden anxiety.
"Because Damian told me he's coming back for the wedding. Damon invited him to be a groomsman. With me!" The panic in her voice made everything clear.
"Oh, Lana," I sighed, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Damian was going to return eventually. You'll have to face him sooner or later. Besides, can you honestly tell me you don't want to see him again?"
I tried reasoning with her, but anxiety was written all over her face.
