A few days passed, and Damon focused on the things he came back to handle.
The days felt full but steady, a welcome break from the chaos of training camps and tournaments.
He didn't visit the hospital much after Jake's surgery.
Joey seemed to have everything under control, and Jake was doing well under the watchful eyes of the hospital staff.
Damon figured it was best to give them space, though he kept tabs through Joey.
The gym, however, became a regular stop.
Just like Victor had asked, Damon checked in on things, making sure everything was running smoothly. To his relief, it was.
The people Victor had left in charge were competent, ensuring the gym was in one piece and thriving.
Seeing it in good hands gave Damon peace of mind, and he used the opportunity to catch up with a few familiar faces, though he kept his visits short.
Most of Damon's time, however, was spent with his mom.
