He had been hovering at the edges of the set, as he did the last time-close enough to watch, far enough to seem casual.

The spark that usually lit her eyes was dim; her movements were precise but empty. She was here in body, but her mind was elsewhere, weighed down.

There was only one thing that would dampen Nivera’s mood like this, and he was certain it was Alejandro.

“You know,” he murmured, “for what it’s worth… you deserve better than looking this sad.”

The words were soft, and they hit her deeply. She glanced at him. “I’m not-

“You are,” he interrupted, his smile faint but kind. “You’ve always been this fierce, unstoppable force. That’s the iveral remember. The gel an take anyone’s crap, who lit up a room just by walking into it. She’d never let anyone dim that light.

Q

But he hadn’t cared this morning and had dismissed her as if she were nothing.

Maybe a distraction was what she needed. Maybe letting Damon in, just for a little, would help her forget the way Alejandro’s words had gelees her,

Plus, maybe Alejandro receiving news that she was with him would make him come to his senses.

“All right,” she said softly, standing. “But don’t cross the line.” She gave a little warning.

“I won’t,” Damon reassured her
