"Well, that will suck given that I am your cousin's date for the night."
Though she had heard a lot about Damon, this was the first time she was meeting him in person. But she didn't feel any awkwardness or a sense of discomfort with him which was very unusual. Emma was always very cautious when she met new people.
Something about Damon made her feel a little more secure than usual. Maybe because he gave her the same friendly and protective vibe as Daniel and Owen.
"I will never hit on you," Damon assured her. "And not because I don't find you attractive or something. I definitely would have if I had met you in different circumstances."
"I just want to be your friend." He extended his hand. "I have a very clean and perfect record as a friend."
Emma smiled and took his hand. "I can accept you as a friend."
