EuropeNovelChapter 1134: "Kids don't care about appearances," Freya defended quickly. "I must've just found you easy to be around." "Then why were you giggling atthe whole time?" Ellis pressed. Freya went quiet.
"And grabbing onto my finger like you'd never let go?" She still said nothing.
There was no way to defend herself now. The flood of memories she couldn't even recall was oddly disorienting, and she felt slightly overwhelmed.

"Why don't you grab onto my finger now?" he teased, his heart swelling with emotion.
"That's just your version of the story," Freya shot back, her cheeks warming. Sure, it was something she'd done as a child, but hearing it all spelled out like that was mortifying.
