“Dad, are you thinking about something?” Freya noticed the flicker of hesitation in his expression.
“l used to,” Hugh admitted. “But not anymore.”
Freya looked puzzled. She didn’t quite understand what he meant.
Hugh hesitated, his lips pressed into a line. “Promise you won't be mad if | say this?”

“She’s with her dad and sister today,” Ellis said quickly, knowing Kendra was dead serious. He handed over the
things Freya had packed. “Here—she sent these for you. Said she'd visit soon.”
“The stuff stays. You go,” Kendra retorted.

“That’s more like it.” Kendra finally relaxed a bit.
