Evelina hummed, pretending to consider his words. "Mm. So, what you're saying is, you sort of doubted me?"
Damian sighed. "I—"

Evelina smirked. "And yet, you're still stuck with me."
Damian's gaze flickered to her, something unreadable passing through his silver eyes. "That I am."

Damian snorted. "Realized my—" He shook his head. "You really have no shame, do you?"
Evelina grinned. "Not even a little."
Damian let out a quiet chuckle, shaking his head again as he focused back on the road ahead.
