"Okay," Nyla answered.

After seeing Oliver off, she bathed Mason and put him to bed.

Hesitating for a moment, she texted Damon to ask if he was free the next night, as she planned to drop Mason off.

Damon responded quickly.

Damon: [I'm free. What's up?]

Nyla: [I'm going to an auction tomorrow night, and I might be back late. Buddy should be asleep by then, and I don't want him to be scared if he's alone at home.] Damon was typing for several minutes before his reply came through.

Damon: [Okay. I have to attend the same auction, but Lydia can put Buddy to bed.]

Nyla hadn't expected him to be going too, but Lydia was a better choice than the new nanny.

Nyla: [Alright.]

Damon didn't reply after that, so Nyla put her phone away and went to shower and sleep.
