When Damon arrived, Nyla was sitting on the sofa, staring blankly. Hearing the footsteps, she looked up toward the door. Her eyes were red and filled with helplessness and fear, like a frightened little rabbit. "Uncle Damon, you're here," she called out.

Damon approached her and asked in a low voice, "Are you hurt?"

Nyla shook her head. "I'm okay. I was at the bar with Valarie. I wasn't home... When I came back, this is what I found..."

Damon frowned. "Have you called the police?"

"Yes, I did. They should be arriving soon," she replied.

"Alright. You can't stay here. I'll have Spencer find you a new place," Damon said.

"Can I stay with you for the next few days?" Nyla asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, the living room fell silent, so quiet that they could almost hear each other's breathing.

Damon's eyes narrowed dangerously as he spoke, each word deliberate. "Do you know what you're saying?"

His direct gaze seemed to penetrate everything, making Nyla feel as if she had nowhere to hide. It was as though all her thoughts were exposed to him.

She forced herself to meet his gaze and nodded. "I do."
