After a few seconds, he sighed. "Nyla, I shouldn't have gotten angry with you... I'm sorry."

He had been upset about her arriving with Damon, but most of his anger had melted away the moment she held his hand.

Nyla gazed at him and said softly, "It was my fault. You have every right to be upset. I didn't consider your feelings."

Since she had agreed to be with Oliver, she knew she should keep her distance from other men, especially since she and Damon shared a past. It was only natural for Oliver to feel uneasy about their interactions. Oliver's gaze softened. "It's just a small matter. Let's move on. Shall we head inside?"

Nyla was pleasantly surprised to see her. "Yes, it's been so long since we last met."
