Greyson’s POV:
| continued to watch as Jessy colored at the other end of my office that was used for meetings and a small smile

mean lady could ctake him away, | didn’t understand the most of her gibberish but from Freya's replies |
was able to garner this much
Freya had been ready to drag her out of the room if that was what would take to get her daughter to leave but
when Jessy had turned tear filled eyes with pouting, wobbling lips in my direction, | knew | didn’t stand a chance.

| didn’t want to think that the night | had spent with Freya had anything to do with this change, because it didn’t.
But even within myself | could feel it that a switch had been flipped.
The itch that had always been on my mind since the incident happened, felt like it had been soothed by a balm

“I don’t know what you're talking about.” | stated, returning my attention to Jessy playing on the floor
“You're charmed by her.” Smith said again but this this attention was not onbut on Jessy’s tiny frame.

Smith watched the paper in his hands with wide eyes, while | watched the entire exchange with a hole in my
chest.
