By the time they had arrived at their destination, after introducing Damien to the comforts of flying first class - which Damien politely described as being 'a bit too much' - all the earlier awkwardness had vanished completely. Even if there was still some bitterness left at the bottom of Damien's heart, he just couldn't be cold to Lane.
Not now that Lane was finally dating him earnestly. Besides, Damien had known from the start that Lane was trouble… It would be ridiculous to complain that it was too hot and uncomfortable after you had jumped into the fire.
At least things were getting better.
The hotel they were staying in was located in the capital in country E, the fanciest one in the city. Although the main purpose of the trip was to visit Diana in country H, Lane turned it into an actual holiday. Partially because he needed a cover-up, in case someone got more interested in their trip than they should…
