Looking outside of the window on her carriage, Freya resisted the urge to sigh as her mind took her to places that she really didn't want to think about at the moment. They were all on their way to Hindman Manor to attend Bartos and Jayra's wedding, and somehow, Mother decided that she should be in a separate carriage from the rest of them.
Well, it would've been fine, but the fact that Gideon was also with her really put a damper on her own plans to just sit and think about what she was supposed to do.
"It's really snowing today, huh," Gideon casually said, attempting to make small talk with her as if he hadn't noticed her mood. "I hope it stops just before the wedding."
"Yeah…"
She couldn't help but sigh. She really didn't want to do so in front of him, but it was just the way her thoughts wanted to be expressed at the moment. For some reason, unlike her own feelings for the man, she wasn't shy enough to let the world know that she was having problems.
