As they stepped outside, Damon pulled out his phone, and quickly sent a message to Jason: To: Jason Hey, need a favor. Can you cover for me in chemistry? Taking Aqua to my spot.

Damon hesitated for a moment before responding, his fingers tapping out a reply filled with unspoken worry: To: Jason Yeah, just want to help Aqua out. She's having a rough time.

"That was a man terrified that something is currently happening. Between you and Mateo. Between you and... your own silence." ​As we walked through the cafeteria, the whispers followed us like a physical wake. I could feel the eyes on my back—the marketing team, the interns, the janitorial staff. ​"Is she his secret ex?" "I heard she saved his life during the disappearance."
