Freya jumped in to answer, "She went back to the lounge. Seemed upset about something I honestly have no idea what I did to set her off."

Jarrod shrugged it off. "Forget it. She's got that princess syndrome."

Freya's words seemed to jog Maurice's memory.

He suddenly remembered that post on social media.
