Elara's POV I gave Damien a tour of the new office. He joked that he was starting to feel threatened. Halcyon Biosciences, the company we'd built together, was the child I'd abandoned. And here I was, showing off the new baby. I laughed and told him he should get competitive, then. Halcyon was the company we'd started my sophomore year of college. I walked away when I became Luna. Sold Damien my entire stake for next to nothing, a price so low he still felt like he owed me. These days Halcyon did fine without me. And Dawn & Earth, my company with Victoria, was doing even better. We arrived at the Biogenetics Science Club together. The place looked like an old university library that had been quietly funded into something grander. High shelves. Leather chairs. A private collection room
