The door closed, leaving Isla and Damien in the room. Despite the chilly sensation on his skin, Damien was bouncing excitedly on the bed. He finally made his first friend in the capital. He couldn't wait for tomorrow to come.

''Yes mother.'' Damien responded obediently. Though, his voice was softer than usual.
