Chapter 208: Sharing I

Damon smiled wryly and looked up, he had never really told anyone his past, not in full detail.

Thinking about it now, he could almost feel the phantom itch of the scar on his back.

It was a constant reminder of what he'd been through, what he'd survived.

He glanced over at Svetlana, who was patiently waiting, her eyes showing no judgment, just curiosity and trust.

He wanted to know more about her, too. He didn't want this to be one-sided.

"In one condition," he said, locking eyes with her.

She looked up, intrigued, waiting for him to explain.

"I also want to know your past," Damon said, his voice softer but clear.

Svetlana looked down for a moment, thinking about it.

She looked like she was thinking about something, as if she wasn't sure if she was ready to share. She took a deep breath and then looked back at him.

"Sure," She said it with quiet confidence, and Damon didn't expect the determination in her eyes.
