Sensing that Nyla was about to refuse, Damon pressed further, "I'll drive you, or you can stay at my place. Your choice." "I'll call Valarie first," Nyla replied.

She quickly dialed Valarie and briefly explained what had happened, asking if she could stay at her place for a few days.

Valarie, furious, immediately offered to come pick her up.

Just as Nyla was about to agree, Damon calmly took the phone from her hand.

"It's too late for that. I'll take Nyla over. You don't need to come," he said firmly.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line before Valarie's voice came through, much louder. "Damon, why are you at Nyla's place?!"

Damon ignored her question. "Just send me the address, Ms. Weir. I'll take care of it."

He hung up and handed the phone back to Nyla, his expression calm. "Go pack your things."

Nyla pressed her lips together as if she wanted to say something. Seeing the calm determination in Damon's eyes, she took the phone and nodded before heading into the bedroom. Less than ten minutes later, she emerged with a small bag.
