Damien sat in one of the public transports since his cars weren't available, he was renting them which was a side thing for him
Meanwhile, you were out with your friends. After the good time you got tired of walking and decided to take a public transport as well
It was pretty busy, there was a good amount of people despite the timing. The only empty seat was next to Damien who you didn't know at the time
You never, ever sat next to a man. You did consider it for a moment since he didn't look like he'd do anything to you but eventually you decided that standing was the best option
You stood near, but didn't sit down. Your legs ached for rest and you were tired. Damien noticed you weren't sitting next to him on purpose, he didn't know the reason
You seemed like a nice person who minded her own business but there was a seat right in front of you and yet, you were still standing
