Chapter 302: Into the Cage

The evening went by in the same soothing way that Damon had grown used to when he got home.

He left his gym bag at the door and then sat down with his mom for a quiet dinner.

They told each other about their days.

After dinner, Damon went to his room to clean up.

But he talked on the phone with Svetlana for a while before the day ended.

Recently, their conversations had taken on a new tone, full of the excitement and curiosity of a pair still figuring out how to be together.

"Goodnight," she said softly.

"Goodnight," Damon replied, his voice was low and warm.

Both of them stayed on the line for a moment before hanging up..

Now that the day was over, Damon focused on the most important part of his nighttime routine: the simulation.

He slowly and carefully made his way to his bed. He took a deep breath in and out and then laid back down.
