“Helen,” he said, turning to face her fully. “About what you said earlier... about needing to feel secure in our personal life. I realize that I’ve let work overshadow everything else. It’s not fair to you, or to us.”

She looked up from the fire, her expression serious. “I appreciate you acknowledging that. It’s been hard for me to watch you transform into this... public figure while feeling like I’m losing you in the process.”

Is she okay?”“Maya,” Davin said, keeping his voice steady. “What are you doing here?”“I came to support my family,” she said, tilting her head slightly. “Isn’t that what family does?”Helen shot Davin a look, and he felt the tension rise between them. “Support?” he echoed, doubt lacing his tone. “Or to make sure everyone knows you’re here?”Maya laughed, a sound that felt more like a challenge. “Oh, come on.
