“You broke up?”
“Yeah.”
“Why?”
“Oh, please! Greta probably scared him off. She's way too fierce for most guys.”
“Most guys wouldn't last a minute if she actually got mad.” The group dissolved into lighthearted gossip.
Freya was curious too. “So how'd it end?”
“He said we cfrom different worlds,” Greta said casually, not seeming too bothered. “Said it was stressful
being with me. His friends claimed he was mooching off me. He didn’t like being the lesser one in the
relationship, so he ended it.”
Riley and Freya exchanged baffled looks. Wasn't love just about being together if the feelings were mutual?
“He was a real idiot. He should've told his friends they'd be lucky to have someone willing to support them,”
Moss blurted out, entirely unfazed.
“Not always that simple. Sguys have too much pride,” Cade added. “If their girlfriend’s family is way out of

She couldn't help thinking of what Trent had said about Ellis.
Seizing the moment, she asked, “Would you guys feel that way?”

two people loving each other?”
“That's true when you're young,” Cade said seriously. “But we have to be more realistic. If she’s got way better
options, why should | be the one holding her back? And if our families are worlds apart, her parents are bound to
worry.”

“You're lucky you've got a solid background. Otherwise, the girls crushing on you would be out of luck,” Frederick
chimed in, jumping into the mix.
Freya pressed her lips together, unsure how to respond.
Fortunately, the topic didn’t drag on. After another round of chatter, Ellis finally walked in, as calm and
composed as ever—Ilooking devastatingly handsome.
The get-together had been planned for him, after all. With his arrival, the group relaxed completely—eating,
drinking, and enjoying the night. By the end of the evening, empty bottles were stacked across the table. Most of
Freya's friends were impressive drinkers. Even after several rounds, they held their own effortlessly.
Freya wasn’t so lucky. A few drinks in, and she was already feeling lightheaded.
Recalling what had happened the last tshe'd gone overboard, she did her best to stay sharp. But by the
night’s end, the alcohol had taken its toll. Her head spun, her mind foggy.
She wasn't making a fuss—just
resting quietly, her heageaniny!
