Damon

Thursday morning, Damon was visited again by Igor.

“Have you got yourself a date yet?” the old man asked.

Damon smiled at him and said, “As a matter of fact, I do.”

“Is she legitimate, or is she some kind of floozy you are going to pick up at the last minute?” Igor asked, clearly having something on his mind.

Damon winced, though he knew the elder meant no disrespect. “She is an actual person who is important to me. I think she might be my fated mate.”

Hearing the words fall from his mouth shocked him. It was the first time he had said them aloud to anyone other than Leonard.

Igor sat back in his chair and steeped his fingers. “Wow. I’m surprised to hear those words coming out of your mouth. Fated mate, huh? Well, I’m happy for you.”

Igor started to get up to leave, but Damon stopped him. “Is that all you came for? To find out if I had a date?”

“Actually, yes,” the old man said. “My niece is in town from London, and I thought she could be your date if you just had some random dame set up to attend with you.”

“You were trying to play matchmaker?” Damon asked him.

Igor shrugged, pretending to be innocent. “I don’t know.” Then, he studied Damon seriously. “What happened to your father after your mother was killed was a damned tragedy. Your father was a terrific man who was well respected by everyone. Yet, what happened to him doesn’t mean it would happen to you. I know you are terrified. Your father was always a passionate man. He put a hundred percent of himself into everything he did, and especially everyone he loved. It was all or nothing for him. When he lost your mother, he went from all to nothing. You have your mother in you. She was a kind, wonderful, gentle person. She also had all of the logical sense in the family.”

Damon just looked at him. He didn’t know what to say.

“Don’t run away from love because you are afraid you have too much of your father in you. Run toward love because you have a lot of your mother in you,” Igor said.

With those sage words of advice, the old man stood and headed out the door. “I look forward to meeting her,” he said, and then he left Damon alone with his thoughts.

Lately, Damon had been doing everything in his power to avoid his thoughts. He was afraid that he was legitimately losing his mind. He had agonized over the upcoming event. The part of him that knew she was his fated mate made him long to hold her in his arms. The part that was terrified of losing her made him dread going to the event with her. He had no idea how he was going to hold her at arm’s length when she was going to be his date.

On their way to Ava's apartment that night, he said, “You need to take tomorrow off. I’ll make arrangements with your boss, and I’ll pay you for your time.
