[DAPHNE]
"Daphne..."
Ryker’s voice filled the room as he strode toward me, pulling me into a warm embrace. His scent was familiar, comforting.
"It's only been a day, but it felt like forever," he murmured with a soft chuckle.
I smiled at him. "Yeah, you're right."
Then I turned to Sandra. "Hi, Sandra."
"Hey," she replied casually.
"She’s been complaining about boredom, so I told her to come with me."
I waved a hand dismissively. "Oh, it's fine. Come on, you make it sound like I don’t want her around."
We all let out a soft chuckle.
Just then, Nicki and Damon walked into the living room. As usual, Nicki’s hand was possessively wrapped around his arm, a silent declaration that he belonged to her.
"Hey, man," Damon greeted, exchanging a casual bro-handshake with Ryker.
