“Freya"
My name broke the silence, and I jumped. I turned around and put a hand over my chest.
“Thomas! You gave me the fright of my life.”
He examined me, his eyes narrowing as if he could see right through me into the forest. “did something happen?”
“No” This response came way too quickly.
Thomas lifted an eyebrow. He definitely wasn’t buying into the explanation. I pushed a strand of hair behind my ear and suddenly found the ground fascinating. Anything to avoid his intense look.
“You're sure of that?” he pressed, his voice a little gentler.
“Completely sure,” I said, forcing a convincing smile onto my face.
He didn’t look convinced, but he let that go, for the moment anyway.
“So what brings you out here?” I blurted, eager to shift the conversation to a different topic.
