He had been cast out on a freezing night when he was only four, left to fend for himself. If Freya hadn’t found
him, he might not have made it.
“In return for those four years you and Mom looked after me, I've made sure you're financially secure,” Melvin
said, his voice firm. “But I'd prefer if we kept things simple between us.”
After that night, it was as if his parents no longer existed. They had abandoned him. To them, he was nothing
more than a discarded burden.
“I don’t have anything else to say,” Melvin said, ending the call.

“Nothing.”
“If there’s something bothering you, just talk to me. Don’t bottle it up.”
“Really, it’s nothing.” Melvin wasn’t used to opening up. He preferred to deal with things on his own. “Why don’t

Jessica made a note to ask more carefully next time. “Got it.”
Freya asked, “Have you confessed yet?”
Jessica replied, “Not yet. He doesn’t like me. I'm scared if | tell him, he'll kickout.”
They chatted a little longer after that. Freya wasn’t usually one for gossip, but when it cto Melvin, her
attention sharpened. To her, he was like family.

Jessica, desperate for a second opinion, laid out everything that had happened recently.
Twenty minutes later, after reading through everything, Freya replied, “He probably has feelings for you, but he
doesn’t realize it yet.”
Jessica was doubtful. “How's that possible? He always says he has no plans to marry.”
