Chapter 217 I Came To

Take You Home

"Do you know when the Captain's coming back?" Freya asked, her voice cool and

even.

Trent let out a soft chuckle. "Not a clue."

"Seriously? You have no idea?" Freya pressed, her tone edged with disbelief.

"Really no idea," Trent said truthfully. "He just said he'd be back sometime, didn't give a proper time frame."

Freya went quiet.

No wonder, during their last phone call, the Captain insisted they'd talk face-to- face.

Trent started to speculate aloud. "Did you do something wrong?"
