Damien shrugged nonchalantly, "What about I bring my family along for the celebration?" he asked, his eyes twinkling mischievously.
Arya grinned back at him, "I like the way you think."
he knew that their partnership was strictly professional, and he had to keep things platonic between them. Besides, he loved his wife Elena and their daughter Lily more than anything in this world.
Damien dialed Elena's number on his phone to check if they would come. "Hey babe," he said when she answered. "Is Lily still awake? I'm at the fancy restaurant downtown wanna come"
As they chatted away, Damien felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see Elena, his wife, standing behind him with a small smile on her face.
"Hey," she said softly, "Lily finally fell asleep so I thought I'd come join you guys."
Damien's heart swelled with affection for his wife as he pulled out a chair for her to sit beside him. "Glad you could make it," he said warmly.
