"Are you sticking to your choice, even if it brings you discomfort?" Damien asked, his voice breaking the silence as he focused on the road.
"Huh?" I blinked, caught off guard by his question. I wasn't expecting him to ask again. Earlier, I had made it clear I wasn't backing down. So hearing him mention it again felt... strange.
I glanced at him briefly, then turned my eyes away, staring out the window. The city lights blurred as they passed by, and I didn't feel like answering. We'd had our fun, twice now, but that didn't mean he could keep prying into my personal life.
"Kimberly, listen," he continued, a worried edge in his voice. "Now isn't the time to pick a fight with your stepmother. You should focus on finding your father first."
"I appreciate your concern, Damien," I said, keeping my eyes fixed outside. "But I've made my decision. If I don't handle this now, I may never get another chance. Luna Catherine and her child have to be stopped."
