"I got married because I wanted to. I am not going to address the private affairs of my marriage with you, so don't pry. I might be kind to invite you over for dinner so you may meet her," Damien offered.
"Why does it feel like you have come to use me? I appreciate the visit, but what do you want? I am fully awake now," Zayne said, seeking the truth.
