It had been a long evening, but everything was coming to an end.
"Take care," Leona smiled at Adam as she turned to Silvana. "I wish you luck."
Silvana's cheeks flushed as she nodded slightly.
"Bye, bro!" Trici exclaimed, waving goodbye. Even though it was late, deep into the night, she was full of energy. Well, maybe it was because she had learned a lot of interesting things today, or maybe it was because Damien had secretly bought her an energy drink instead of soda.
Adam smiled.
"See you next time. If I can, I'll come visit you again!"
Thus, Leona, Gary, and Trici left as the elevator closed and headed down to the first floor of the great skyscraper. A car was already waiting for them downstairs, and in less than an hour, they would be home.
But for Adam and Silvana, this was not the end of the evening; it was the beginning of something bigger, and it wasn't just about them.
Tap.
Damien put down his half-empty beer bottle with a satisfied grin.
