The car stopped in front of the main entrance and Damian got out first, then turned to help Eve. She took his hand and stepped out and immediately the front door opened.
Damon.
He was down the steps before the driver had even closed the car door. His eyes went to Eve first, scanning her face.
Then his gaze moved to Damian and something passed between them that did not need words.
Damon reached Eve and pulled her in without hesitation. His arms came around her hard and she went into him just as completely, her face against his chest, her hands fisted in his shirt.
"Tell me," Damon said into her hair.
"Inside," Eve said. Her voice was muffled against his chest. "I need everyone to hear it at once."
Damon pulled back enough to look at her face. Whatever he saw there made his jaw tighten but he nodded and let her go. His hand stayed at her back as they walked up the steps together and Damian followed behind them, his own hand finding her shoulder.
