Doubting everyone except one
Damon and Talia spent most of the day in meetings where their discussion about portals and asking witches for help expanded into talk about current issues. Keith, Liam, Meg, and Kai joined them in the study to exchange ideas about training warriors.
It was later in the afternoon when one of Oracle's helpers came to ask about the ceremony that they were all reminded about the feast and the pack run, so they dispersed to get ready.
Talia was sitting in front of a massive dressing table and looking into the mirror to see her reflection with Damon standing behind her while tending to her hair with an intense focus like it was the most important thing in the world.
Damon and Talia were taking their time, and not rushing the therapeutic experience.
Talia loved the small smile at the corner of Damon's lips that was there whenever he combed her hair. It was a ritual they did in silence.
