Freya hesitated, then gave a small nod. “Yes.”
Alan ran a hand through his already messy hair, the weight of humiliation settling on his shoulders.
Looking deeply apologetic, he said, “I'm sorry, Mina. | caused trouble again, didn’t 12”
He didn’t even question the situation further. In his mind, the damage was done, and Freya had been the only
witness to his wild side.
“It’s notyou should be apologizing to.” Freya knew the words would hit hard, but there was no gentler way to
say it.
Alan needed to confront the consequences of his actions.
Alan snapped to attention, jerking his hand away from his hair. “What's that supposed to mean?”
A wave of unease washed over him. Had he made a fool of himself on the street while drunk?
No, that didn’t sound right. Freya would never let him make a spectacle like that—she knew how much his image
mattered to him.
“You were at...” Freya began.
“I know!” Alan cut her off, eager to get ahead of it. Better to admit it himself than hear it from someone else. “I

That had to be it! How was he supposed to give Toby proper instructions ever again? Toby probably thought he

Freya silently weighed the embarrassment of messing up in front of a close colleague versus a stranger. She
decided it was slightly less mortifying with someone he barely knew.

“It’s not as bad as you think,” Freya said gently, hoping to soften the blow.
Caught in a tug-of-war between panic and hope, Alan forced himself not to picture anything worse.
He'd already envisioned the most humiliating scenario. Since she said it wasn’t that bad, maybe he could live
with it. “So where did | humiliate myself?”
“At Kristian’s place,” Freya said, calm and composed. Alan froze, as though someone had pressed pause on his
entire system.
Kristian’s place?
Of all the places—Kristian’s?
Alan’s face twisted in horror. “That's what you call ‘not as bad as I think’?”
Toby's place would've been a blessing in comparison.
Kristian was Freya's ex-husband, for God's sake!
This was humiliation on an entirely new level.

Alan fell into stunned silence. No way. She had to be pulling selaborate prank. Him? Choosing Kristian?
“Nice try, but you're not fooling me,” Alan said, pretending to laugh it off with a forced chuckle. “Didn’t think
you'd turn into a prankster overnight.”
