The honeymoon phase

When Caden and Maya arrived in the study, they found Damon and Talia sitting on the floor, with their arms around each other and their lips connected as they exchanged light kisses. The two of them were obviously in their lovey-dovey bubble and didn't notice two newcomers.

"Should we come later?"

Caden's question got Damon's and Talia's attention and Talia scrambled up on her feet.

Talia's face was on fire, and she quickly turned away from the door while pretending to smoothen out the non-existing creases on her shirt.

Damon wanted to tell them that they should come later, but he knew that no matter when Caden and Maya came, they would interrupt them.

"This is fine", Damon responded while standing up. "I want to double-check the training plans for Tony and his men, and Talia needs Maya."
