"She enjoys nothing more than a good book or a nap," Melvin chimed in once again, his voice calm and composed. "Oh—and she's also quite fond of sparring."

"That's splendid," Chaz commended bluntly.

At that moment, one thought echoed in his mind: Freya wasn't just easy on the eyes and skilled at her work- she carried a spirit that was rare and admirable. Exactly the kind of woman who checked all his boxes.

Freya's thoughts twisted into a knot. What could Kristian possibly be up to?
