Chapter 1190

Damon and Nyla didn't speak. They simply lay there, holding each other, feeling time slowly slip away.

Eventually, they both drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Nyla and Damon were still asleep when there was a knock at the door.

"Daddy! Mommy! Are you awake?" Mason called.

Nyla stirred but still felt groggy, her eyes refusing to open. "Damon, can you get the door for Buddy?"

"Alright." Damon sat up, yawning as he walked to the door.

When he opened it, he looked down to see Mason fully dressed-hat, mask, everything-looking completely ready to go.

Seeing that Damon was still in his pajamas, Mason frowned. "Daddy, it's already past eight, and you guys are still sleeping?"

Damon leaned against the doorframe, looking a little helpless. "Mommy and I went to bed late last night. Can you let us sleep for just 30 more minutes?"

Mason thought about it seriously before nodding. "Alright. I'll wait for you in the living room."

Damon closed the door and climbed back into bed, pulling Nyla into his arms.
