Damien immediately turned toward her.
“You—”
“Damien,” Maya interrupted gently, placing a hand over his. “Please. Let me.”
He frowned slightly, but she continued before he could protest.
“Every single one of you has done so much for me and Jaime. You’ve been there for us, helped us, and taken care of us through everything.”
Her expression softened as she glanced around the table.
“Jaime’s surgery wouldn’t have been possible without your help. I know a simple dinner could never repay any of that, but I’d really like to do something for all of you for once. Just a small thank-you for everything you’ve done for my brother and me.”
She turned back toward Damien, giving his hand a gentle squeeze and offering him a warm smile.
“Actually, this is the favor I asked Hiro for earlier.”
