"Alright... we're here," Victor said as he eased the car to a stop in front of the large apartment building.
The headlights lit up the entrance and left long shadows on the ground.
Damon looked out at the familiar structure, feeling a sense of comfort and familiarity.
After taking off his seatbelt, he looked at Victor with a glad smile on his face. "Thanks for the ride, Vic," he said.
Victor nodded, his expression warm. "Anytime, kid. Take care and rest up. Big days ahead."
Damon stepped out of the car, his gym bag slung over his shoulder, and waved as Victor pulled away.
Moving toward the building, he felt the cool air in the evening on his skin. He was ready to rest and get ready for what was to come.
He turned around and went into the lobby, which was quiet.
It was quiet, and there were only a few people moving around, coming and going.
