Ding. Ding.
Damon's phone vibrated on the nightstand. He picked it up and unlocked it, seeing Svetlana's name at the top of the screen.
[You left without saying hi or goodbye.]
He stared at the text for a moment, his lips tugging into a faint smile.
[Had to. If I want to finish everything here quick.]
He sent the reply, leaning back into the pillows. Her response came almost instantly.
[I see. It's fine. Good luck.]
Damon exhaled, sensing there was more behind her words.
He stared at the screen, debating whether to let the conversation end there.
After a moment, his thumbs moved.
[How about I make it up to you?]
He paused for a second before hitting send.
The dots appeared almost immediately.
[How?]
He smirked at the response.
[Dinner. Just you and me.]
Without waiting a minute another text was sent.
[Are you asking me out?]
Her message caught him off guard.
