Royal Hilton hotel

Damon drove his black armored Lexus SUV in silence.

Talia enjoyed the way he held her hand pressed on his chest like he was telling her she was close to his heart.

The lights of the downtown flickered as the car moved smoothly over the highway, and Talia realized that was not the way to the packhouse.

"Where are we going?"

Damon smiled mysteriously. "You will see."

Talia relaxed in her seat and let him have it. She didn't care where they were going, as long as they were together.

Damon and Talia used this peaceful drive to process the news: they will be parents!
