Warlock Ch 83. This is Your Home…
For a moment, there was silence. Evelyn didn't move, didn't break her gaze. She just watched him. "Don't mention it," she finally said, her tone softening a bit. Then, almost in a whisper, she added, "This is your home too… Damian."
Damian froze, his mind scrambling to catch up. He managed a nervous smile, unsure if he'd heard her right. "What do you mean?" he murmured, his voice barely a notch above a whisper. "There's no way…" But before he could say more, Evelyn closed the distance between them, lifting her hand and gently placing a finger against his lips, silencing his doubts with a simple, firm touch. It was enough to steal any further protest from his tongue.
