“Who played it?”
“The mother did.”
“Tell me something, Freya. Why won’t any of you let Ava remember what happened to her? You’re hindering her healing.”
“As long as that woman is alive, Ava can never remember.”
“Are you referring to her mother? She’s alive?”
“I’ve said enough, Grayson.” I closed my eyes.

Ava
I opened my eyes and looked around in confusion.
“Come on,” I said. “Who was it this time?”
“Freya.” He grabbed hold of my hand.
“What the fuck, Grayson? What did she want?”
“She wanted to join the party.” I lied.
I let go of his hand and placed both my hands over my face.
“This is happening too much. I’m losing control.”
“Ava, calm down.” He gripped my shoulders.
“Calm down? Really? They never let anyone see them. We had an agreement. But with you, they won’t stop.”
“They like me.” He smiled. “Is that so bad?”
I stared at him for a moment and let out a sigh. “No. It’s not bad.”
“Come here.” He pulled me into him and held my head against his chest. “We’ll be docking soon. Are you hungry?”
“Yeah. A little bit.”
“How about we stop at IN-N-OUT and grab a couple of burgers and fries.”
“With a chocolate shake?” I smiled.
“A double chocolate shake if you want.” He winked.
“They don’t have double chocolate shakes.” I laughed.
“Then I’ll buy you two and pour them into one tall glass when we get to my house.”
“One chocolate shake is enough.”
Conner and Charlotte walked down with Isabella.
“Hey, you two.” Conner smiled. “Having a make-out session on the couch?”
“No. We’re talking,” Grayson said. “Why don’t you go up on the deck, and I’ll meet you up there. I have to use the bathroom.”
