As the days went by, Davina found herself growing closer to Nick. What was supposed to be a short-term arrangement had become two weeks of constant companionship. Their instincts drew them together, building a bond beyond a professional relationship.

While Nick was always by her side, Davina rarely had the chance to spend quality time with Damian. Their schedules demanded their attention, often forcing them to pass each other like ships in the night.

Even on weekends, when they should have had time to relax and unwind, Damian and Davina found themselves consumed by the demands of their respective jobs. During these busy times, Davina found solace in Nick's presence. Unlike the bodyguard, whom she hardly knew, Davina felt at ease with Nick. They could engage in light-hearted conversations to alleviate the boredom that sometimes accompanies their duties.
