Building Emotions
Grace waited for his response, and much to her relief, Davian stepped aside and allowed her entrance into his apartment without a word.

"I heard about Marcus and Julian," she began, keeping her voice quiet but steady.
Davian's jaw tightened, and he looked away. "I did what I had to do."
"I know," she replied, stepping closer. "And I'm not here to judge you. I just… I wanted to make sure you are okay."
He let out a bitter laugh. "Okay? Grace, I killed them. They trusted me, and I—"
"You saved them from something worse," she interrupted him firmly. "You gave them peace, Davian. That doesn't make you a monster. It makes you human."
