Kristian. “1 would've cup earlier.”

The young men stared, momentarily stunned. They hadn't expected the girl their grandfathers dragged them up
here to meet would be so stunning.
“You guys only know how to mess around,” Elvin scolded, putting on his best stern act. “Freya's been waiting on

“Sorry for making you wait.”
“I'm Cyril Clarkson.”
“I'm Eaton Duffy.”

“Thanks. You're quite the charmer yourself,” Freya replied politely, her lips curving into a faint, practiced smile.
Cyril lit up like a kid on Christmas morning.
As the conversation rolled on, he didn’t hold back in expressing his admiration, peppering Freya with questions
about her interests and likes. By the end of it, even Lionel and Elvin could read him like an open book.
