“Mack. Mack, your father’s here.”
Mack was visibly startled. He jumped up. “You sure?”
“He’s already on his way in,” the person said urgently.
“Go stall him. Tell him I'm in training,” Mack said, quickly formulating a plan. “I'll meet him in the reception room
in five minutes.”
“Got it.”
Suddenly, a commanding voice rang out, sharp and unmistakable. “Why don’t you showhow training works
in a restaurant?” Mack froze, stunned. How had his father gotten there so fast?
He straightened immediately and greeted the man entering.
The man wore a military uniform with effortless authority. Though in his forties, he barely looked thirty.
“Weren't you on leave for something important? And this is where you end up?” Brady Russell, Mack's father,
was every bit the stern commander. “Get back to training now. Skip your duties, and you'll be confined.”

the range. It's not often he drops by, and | wanted to see if he’s still got it.”
Hearing his name, Kristian stood and approached, greeting respectfully, “Good day, Mr. Russell.” Brady gave a
slight nod.
He held Kristian in high regard, and his temper cooled.
Mack exhaled in relief, sensing he'd avoided a proper dressing-down. “I'll head back to training after we eat. |
won't slack, promise.” His father fixed him with a look heavy with authority and expectation but said nothing
more.
Mack understood that as approval.

“By the way, Dad,” he added, suddenly thinking of Freya, his smile brightening, “letintroduce someone
incredible! Freya just faced off with Kristian in a 300-meter match and nailed the bull’s-eye in one shot. Totally
impressive!”
Mack beamed like he'd discovered gold.
Brady followed his gaze—and froze for a moment when he saw Freya's face, a flicker of something passing
through his expression. Freya met his eyes.
They exchanged no words, but their looks carried unspoken thoughts.
“Already thinking of recruiting her?” Mack teased, knowing his father too well.
Brady stepped toward Freya. “What's your name?”
“Freya Briggs,” she answered.
Brady grasped it instantly and spoke in his usual formal tone. “Could we talk privately? There's something I'd like
to discuss.”
“Sure. Please,” Freya said politely her
