“He asked if the rumors about your marriage and divorce were true,” Trent said. He was curious how the Captain even found out, given his limited access to phones.

Trent stared at the Captain’s last message, a flicker of thought in his eyes. But he chose not to tell her the Captain was coming back. If she knew, she wouldn’t sleep a wink.

“I have to go. We’ll talk when I return,” Freya said as the noise outside grew louder.

“Okay,” Trent said gently.
