“Did you call an ambulance? And the police?” Alan pressed, his voice full of frantic concern. “Are you hurt?”
From where she stood, Freya had a clear view of Alan through the window.
One glance was all she needed to figure out exactly why he had called her.
“Stay put. I'm coming to you right now,” Alan said, playing his part to perfection. The timing of Freya's call
couldn't have been better. “Don’t worry, I've got you.” Then he hung up. He started to leave but paused, turning
back toward Sherry. “Sorry, a family member of mine was just in a car accident. | need to go check on her.”
“Mr. Briggs,” Sherry said, rising to her feet. Even the way she addressed him had changed.
Alan didn’t catch the shift. “What is it?”
“There's no need to make up a lie just because you don’t want to exchange contact information,” Sherry said,

did | ever say | was in a car accident?” Alan was...
He was certain this was the worst possible moment for Freya to walk in. Panic crashed over him. He wanted to
explain but couldn't find the words.
“Giveyour phone,” Freya demanded, hand outstretched.
Alan handed it over without a fight.
He was older than her, but whenever she got serious, he could never bring himself to say no. He didn’t even
know why.

Freya opened Alan’s QR code and held it out to Sherry with a polite nod. “Sorry, my cousin’s hopeless at this. He
hates blind dates and tends to ghost people he meets through them.”
“It’s okay,” Sherry replied, her tone as gentle as ever.
“Let's exchange WhatsApp?” Freya suggested with a hopeful smile. It was easy to tell from just a moment's
interaction—Sherry was genuinely a good person.
Sherry hesitated. A part of her still wanted to add him. But her pride got in the way.
