“Would | find it fun?” she asked, tilting her head.
“When you left Kristian and he chased after you, how’d that feel?” Ellis offered his example gently but pointedly.
Freya paused, then answered, “I wanted to knock his lights out.”
“Then this game’s not your cup of tea,” Ellis said, his deep voice calm and comforting. “But Greta and Noel?
They're more like Tom and Jerry, playing a silly gof cat and mouse.”
His words clicked, and Freya finally got it. Greta and Noel were partners in a playful dance.
“Are you still mad atover her?” Ellis asked, a hint of old hurt in his voice.
“I didn’t mean it like that,” Freya said, guilt nudging her. “After all we've been through, you know I'd never shut
you out.”

and fired up her computer to call Greta.
“Thought you missed my hint earlier,” Greta teased the moment she answered. She'd slyly said, “Who could
threaten me?” It was a jab at Ellis and a nudge for Freya to act.
“Let's talk business,” Freya said, piecing it together after their last call. “Where are you?”
“Airport,” Greta replied.

“Wantto cover your tracks for real?” Freya asked.
“Just for three months,” Greta said. She had her plans, and Noel's pursuit was cramping her style. “After that, I'm
good.”
Freya's fingers flew across the keyboard, setting everything in motion. In ten minutes, Greta’s trail was gone,
wiped clean.
