Damon's gaze darkened. "Not yet. The hotel's surveillance was damaged, so I had Spencer check the cameras around the hotel. The most important thing for you tonight is to get some rest. We can handle everything else tomorrow morning."

"There's no need to thank me. Although it might not be the best time to say this, happy birthday," Damon wished her.

Nyla was momentarily taken aback, then replied softly, Thank you."

If Valarie didn't wake up, she might never enjoy her birthdays again.
