"Oh, by Ava, I mean Ava Hill from ManaTech," Lane added, when Damien remained silent. "You've met her already."
"Yes, I remember. At the airport," Damien nodded, but his frown only deepened. He looked hesitant, as if he had something to say, but didn't know whether he should bring it up or not.
Lane glanced at the man, feeling a bit nervous. He was still anxious about this whole reveal, even though the conditions were already established, so he was sensitive to every change in Damien's expression.
"What is it?" he finally asked, unable to endure it anymore. "Is there any problem?"
"Not exactly a problem…" Damien spoke slowly, still reluctant, "It's just that… Are you two… just friends?"
Hmm? So that's what it was about? Was Damien… jealous?
Lane's lips curved in a wicked grin. "Not JUST friends. Friends with benefits!"
