What really gets me," Greta said, halting mid-step with a furrowed brow, "is that if you end up with him, every single day will blur together like sdull rerun-you'll be stuck reliving the slifeless day over and over. You barely talk as it is, and he's probably as dull as dishwater. That would be the driest, most lifeless relationship ever." "It wouldn't be like that," Freya shot back without missing a beat. If Ellis truly had feelings for her, then those little tests he'd thrown her way before suggested he had a decent grasp of emotional nuance. Being with him might actually be... enjoyable.
"You don't actually have feelings for him, do you?" Greta asked, brows raised in genuine disbelief as she continued. "He's alright as a friend, sure—but as a boyfriend? Absolutely not.

For the next two hours, Freya followed along while they wandered from store to store.
Once fatigue crept in, they found a cozy café tucked away from the bustle, with fresh pastries and warm drinks to rest their feet and regroup.
Greta and Frederick weren't nearly done causing trouble. They took things to their group chat, launching a fresh discussion.
Greta wrote, "If Ellis starts chasing after Freya, should she say yes?" Frederick replied, "Absolutely not." Cade chimed in, "No chance. Ellis is a pro at laying traps-Freya wouldn't last a week." Moss added, "If she values her life, she'd better not." Riley wrote, "Freya, don't make a hasty decision you'll regret." Freya glanced at the two sitting beside her, her stomach twisting uneasily.
There was something about the way they spoke-it made henfeel uneasy. In her view, Ellis wasn't a bad guy.
As she mulled it over, Trent added his voice to the mix, saying, "I actually Elisis think it's worth considering. dependable. Aside from being a bit harsh with us back then, he's really not so bad."
