Freya’s POV“I said I’m fine,” I repeated, softer this time. She hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded slowly.But I could see the suspicion, the questions crowding her mind, and the growing distance.

Guilt stabbed through me as I tried to pretend all was well.“I won’t be long,” I said, avoiding her gaze, as that would have a way of exposing me.“Freya,” she called before I could leave.I paused in my tracks, waiting to hear what she would say.“If something is wrong…” she said softly, “you’ll tell me everything, right?”My chest started heaving painfully.“I will,” I lied just to get away from her. Then I walked out before she could ask me anything.“Ethan,” I called as I spotted him near the training grounds.He turned, completely surprised.
