Damien’s smile deepened-soft, proud, threaded with quiet amusement. He leaned closer, his

voice low enough for only her to hear. “Look at him, love,” he murmured, eyes fixed on Jaime, who

was grinning ear to ear. “He finally found a place he belongs.”

Maya’s chest tightened at the words. The edges of her smile trembled, tenderness shining

through. “Yeah,” she whispered back, her voice barely audible. “He really did. Thank you.”

Across the table, Dominic lifted his glass with a grin that carried both pride and mischief. “A

Lockwood and a Takahashi building the next generation of security systems,” he mused, his tone

dry but touched with warmth. “Now that’s a headline I wouldn’t mind reading.”

Harper’s voice, playful a moment ago, suddenly shifted. “Okay, enough fun,” she said, tone brisk,

Maya, you have my word.”

Maya’s fingers tightened around the phone, her thumb hovering over the speaker. She glanced at Damien, who simply nodded. His expression was quiet, reassuring. “We can do it,” he said softly.” We’ll get him there safely.”

Harper’s relief was audible, but her tone had shifted-steady, sharp, all business now.

“Good. Don’t worry about anything, I’ll handle it-flights, hospital, security. Just make sure Jaime’s medical files and his team are ready. I’m assuming you’ll want to bring them along-it’s better for him to have familiar faces during the entire process. We’re heading home now, and once I get there, I’ll check on Hiro’s condition and start working on the antidote right away. Give me twenty-four hours-forty-eight at most-and I’ll have it cracked.
