"I can explain." Freya squeezed the bridge of her nose, feeling like she was on the verge of unraveling.

The silence on the other end of the line stretched, a heavy pause that made it clear her captain was waiting to see how she intended to spin this tale.

"I'm locked in a room with a friend, and the entire place reeks of something-an aphrodisiac,” she explained, her voice steady, knowing her captain would understand. "I thought calling you might help me calm down." Upon hearing that, the man couldn't quite decide if he should be annoyed or entertained.

Calling him to calm down? Only she would think of that.

"Did it help?" he asked, dry amusement lacing his words.

"It did."

"Are you safe now?"

Yes," Freya answered without hesitation.

Satisfied for the moment, the man eased slightly, though his tone still carried an edge.

But now that the chaos had somewhat passed, there were a few things that needed clarification. "Since you're out of danger, we should talk about a few things."

"About what?"

"Your use of me as a calming mechanism." He stressed the word "calming" with deliberate weight.

Freya's heart sank. She'd been hoping this wouldn't come up. "What's on your mind?"

"We'll talk in person," her captain replied, holding back the rest of what he really wanted to say.

If he told her outright that she needed to take responsibility, she might lose it.

Freya froze. Talk in person? Was he coming back? Or was he planning something with the team?

"Throw that man into the bathroom," the voice on the phone ordered casually. "And don't forget to protect yourself just because you're away from the team." Freya gave a quick nod, even though he couldn't see it. "Got it."

"That man-is it Kristian Shaw?"

Freya's breath hitched.
