Chapter 67: Permission to learn

Damon worked on his breakfast while focusing on his hand under the table that held Talia's.

Talia's warmth and delicious sparks calmed his restless mind and heart, and there was some mischief because of the discomfort Talia was trying to hide whenever his thumb moved gently over her knuckles.

Damon was upset at the thought of Marcy wanting to come, and he needed Talia's touch to comfort him.

Unfortunately, just hand-holding under the table was not enough.

Damon really wanted to hug Talia, and much more, but he knew that this is as far as he can go in the current setting, and it needs to be enough. For now.

"Talia", Maya called, and Talia's head snapped at her.

Talia's heart raced, does Maya know what's going on under the table? Will Maya and Caden tease her if they know that Damon is holding her hand during breakfast?

"Do you have plans for today?", Maya asked.
