The ship cautiously approached the whale pod.

The creatures seemed accustomed to the attention and showed no signs of fear. A baby whale, trailing behind, came so close to the ship that when it leaped, Sabrina felt the water splash on her face.

Time near the whales seemed to fly by, and it was already five in the afternoon when they returned to shore.

Sabrina and her friends got off, and she said to Bettie and Aylin, “You can head back first. I've got a meeting scheduled with Damon."

Sabrina didn't go to Oslo that day, and she had informed her friends that Damon had returned her wallet.

Bettie, with a touch and an ambiguous smile, said to Sabrina, "You really don't want us to accompany you?"

“I can manage on my own," Sabrina replied, smiling.

Though she could have included Bettie and Aylin to show her gratitude towards Damon, she decided to go alone.

Bettie, misreading the situation, assumed Sabrina harbored feelings for Damon. She playfully patted Sabrina's shoulder and winked. "Alright, go on, you can win him over tonight!"

Aylin also thought Sabrina liked Damon and chimed in with concern, "Sabrina, be cautious. After all, we know nothing about Damon, and we're not sure who he is."

"I understand your worry, but it's not what you think," Sabrina reassured, feeling a strange curiosity about Damon and wanting to investigate further.

Bettie, pretending to be wise, added, "You don't need to explain yourself. We all understand..."

Sabrina was left without words.

Damon had selected a nice restaurant for their meeting, one that Sabrina hadn't visited before.

Inside, private rooms lined the far right wall, separated by screens, and a curtain added a sense of privacy on the left.

As Damon mentioned, he reserved the second-to-last private room.

Upon arrival, Sabrina found Damon waiting.

Pulling the curtain aside, she entered, and Damon greeted her with a smile.. "You're here. Please, take a seat. Did you catch a glimpse of the whales?"

Setting her bag aside, Sabrina sat opposite him and replied, "I did. I was fortunate to witness the whales leap from the water today. Such a breathtaking sight! Would you Like to see the photos and videos?"

“Perhaps Later," Damon suggested, handing Sabrina the menu. “You can order now. I've selected some dishes already. Feel free to browse."
