Damien offered a single, sharp nod. The planning was done; the variables were locked. He turned his attention to the projector, “Thank you, Harper. I owe you one.”

Harper waved a hand dismissively, her bravado returning in a rush. “Oof! Nah… no biggie! We’re all in this together, right?”

Her grin widened, that familiar spark of mischief lighting up her eyes. “Once we secure Jamie, let’s clean up this ‘pest’ once and for all. I’m ready to stop playing defense and finally focus on my best

friend’s happily ever after.”

Harper leaned into the camera, her face filling the screen until her finger pointed directly at the

lens.

“Remember-I’m the proud founder of the DaYa fan club!” she chirped, her eyes dancing with

mischief.

Eleanor arched an eyebrow, curious. “DaYa?”

Jamie, never one to miss an opening, grinned slyly. “Then what about Nicholas and Harper? NiHa…

or NiPer?”

Harper froze, her face morphing into a perfect storm of horror and blush. “Ewww! No!! First-those

names sound awful, and second… there’s no such thing!”

Ashcroft raised an eyebrow, a small smirk tugging at his lips. “I don’t know… I’d say they have a cert

ain ring to them.”

Harper rolled her eyes and waved her hands like she was warding off a curse, her voice rising in

mock outrage. “Nobody cares what you think! Anyway…”
