Lyla's POV"Good morning, Henry" I smiled as I walked out of my room. Henry was dressed in a grey suit, a suitcase at hand as he pressed his phone. "Beautiful morning to you, sunshine" He replied before kissing my forehead. He looked better than yesterday when I'd arrived and I'm glad about the new improvement.After his little meltdown, we had a talk about everything that I'd missed. He made sure to not leave any information out because he felt I needed to know what had happened and all that was going out.

Her expression changed and I wondered what I'd done wrong.Ignoring her look, I asked, "Who brought you here?" "Nobody" She simply replied, staring hard at the floor."Devante is rig

Lyla's POV As soon as Tunde informed Damon about what was going on, he dropped me on my feet, kissed my forehead, and said a quick apology before running out of the room after Tunde. I stayed back to arrange my clothes and other stuff in the closet before leaving the room.
