"Hi, Freya. I'm Ben Walden, or you can call me Big Mouth. We had a gathering today, and Captain had a bit too much to drink. Sorry about that."Ben had a crew cut, as did Daniel. His skin was also tanned, and he had a tall, sturdy build. His expression was much softer than Daniel's, though."Oh, okay. Thanks. Come in," Freya said.Ben helped Daniel onto the couch and got ready to leave. "I'll get going now."Freya was about to get him a glass of water. When she heard that he was leaving, she walked him to the door. She didn't know him, anyway. "Thanks for bringing him back.""It's no big deal. You look prettier in person than in your photos, Freya," he said."Huh?" What photos?Ben didn't explain. All he said was, "My wife's waiting for me downstairs. See you next time."Freya looked at the shut door. He'd spoken to her with such respect that it made her feel weird. She was only 24 years old, yet he made her feel much older. Also, what photos had he been talking about?Freya

Freya looked at the name flashing on the screen—Harper York. She answered it and said, "Hi, Harper.""What are you up to, Fae?" Harper sounded affectionate. She was Freya's best friend."I'm just lying in bed. I'm not doing anything.""Looks like I'm coming at the right time, then." Harper's voice faded in and out of the phone.Freya sat up excitedly and cried, "Are you coming to Sureton City?"Yep.""Is it a business trip?""No. I'm being transferred back to headquarters." It would be a lot easier for Harper to meet Freya once she was back in Sureton City. She'd be closer to her family, too."Congratulations! This is good news for you and me both." Freya was delighted. She needed some soda to celebrate, so she headed to the fridge to rummage around while still on the phone.Daniel was no longer in the living room, but there was still a faint trace of alcohol in the air."When are you arriving? Have you already found a place to stay?" Freya asked."My flight will land at 1:0

Daniel wore a black tracksuit and held a white towel. It was clear he'd just returned from a workout. He headed straight to his room. Soon, Freya heard the sound of water running.Her mind conjured the memory of him standing there in nothing but lounge pants and the contents of the erotica novel she'd read last night.When she realized what she was doing, she shook her head, scorning herself in her heart. She swore not to touch or write erotica in the future—it had turned her thoughts dirty and was distracting her!Freya continued analyzing the publication, but none of the words entered her brain. Ultimately, she decided to prepare lunch before heading to the airport since it would take her over an hour to get there from the apartment.She used the things Thomas had given her and Daniel last night to prepare a couple of dishes. She grabbed the necessary ingredients and placed them on the counter.The kitchen was her favorite part of the apartment. It was large and spacious, and th

Freya transferred on the subway thrice before arriving at the airport at 12:53 pm. She didn't have to wait long before seeing Harper appear with three large suitcases.Harper was 26 years old and Freya's best friend. They'd lived on the same street while growing up, and they'd done their senior year of high school together after Freya had skipped grades. They'd sat for the SATs together and were something like war comrades.Harper had studied civil engineering at university. At five feet and nine inches, she was taller than Freya and looked good in everything she wore.However, as an engineer, she frequently needed to visit construction sites to check on the progress. So, she was used to wearing windbreakers, cargo pants, and hiking boots.If Freya was a combination of cuteness and iciness, Harper was truly an ice queen. Her hair was cropped short, and her gorgeous eyes were cold and aloof when facing strangers."Fae!" Harper saw Freya and waved happily. She ran to the latter and

"How does it feel to have your so-called husband back?" Harper asked with a mischievous smile.Freya thought of the doorbell ringing and Daniel's presence in her home and felt frustrated. "Honestly, it's just annoying. It's like my peaceful little world's been invaded, and now, I'll never have a quiet day again."She took a sip of her drink and continued, "Plus, he's kind of full of himself. He always thinks what he sees is the truth.""And this is after just one day under the same roof? Seems like you've had plenty of interaction already," Harper teased.Freya then told Harper about the time he caught her reading an erotica. Harper burst out laughing, nearly doubling over. "That's hilarious! But, yeah. That sounds exactly like something you'd do.""Don't you think he's a bit self-righteous?" asked Freya."I think he reacted pretty normally, honestly."Freya gave Harper a puzzled look.Harper explained, "Think about it. How would you feel if he watched adult films in front of

After saying goodbye to Harper, Freya headed straight up to her apartment. She unlocked the door to find the living room in complete darkness. Daniel wasn't home, or so it seemed.Humming softly to herself, she opened the fridge, grabbed a soda, and took a few sips. Just as she closed the fridge door, the light faded, and suddenly a shadow appeared before her.Startled, Freya stumbled back, hitting her waist against the counter. The sharp pain forced her to stop and confront the person."Why didn't you turn on the lights? I thought someone broke in!" she demanded, her voice still trembling from the scare.Daniel's voice was calm as he responded, "The security here is tight. No one will break in."Freya blinked. Was that a dig at her intelligence?"You scared me half to death!""You were just too caught up in your happy thoughts to hear me coming," Daniel retorted, moving closer. The faint smell of smoke clung to him as he leaned in and braced his hands on either side of her.Fr

The night sky was adorned with a crescent moon and twinkling stars, while the city slept peacefully below. Yet, Daniel lay awake in bed, restless and agitated.Every time he closed his eyes, images of Freya's slender, fair waist, and the curves of her back would flash through his mind.After tossing and turning for hours, it was already past 1:00 am, and sleep still eluded him. Frustrated, Daniel decided to get up and work out.After more than a hundred push-ups, some of his restlessness finally subsided. He took a cold shower and, only then, managed to fall asleep.The next morning, Freya woke to find the apartment empty again. After a simple breakfast, she retreated to the study to work on her novel. She had to take advantage of this time before her full-time job started to build up a decent word count.By noon, Daniel still hadn't returned. Thinking back on how he'd helped her with her injury the night before, she considered calling him to ask if he wanted to come home for lunc

Ricky Lawson, Seth's nephew, and Amy together handled the arrangements for the funeral.Freya stayed by Amy's side throughout, watching as Amy greeted each mourner with a smile, not shedding a single tear. Freya supported Amy's trembling arm, feeling the frailness in her touch. Her own eyes reddened, but she didn't utter a single word of comfort. As night fell, Freya sat with Amy over dinner. While watching Amy eat calmly, Freya couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. "Mrs. Lawson, you don't have to keep it all in. It's okay to cry."Amy looked up. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she stared at Freya for a long moment. Finally, she held back her tears and said quietly, "I won't cry. Seth didn't like it when I cried. He liked it when I smiled."The moment Amy finished speaking, Freya found herself crying instead.Just then, Freya's phone vibrated in her bag. It was a call from an unknown number. After composing herself, she answered the call."Where are you?" It was Daniel.
