CHAPTER 12

  Freya thought hard and good to call Jake and apologize for running off. Tried to say something to him. She just wanted to hear his voice and get some kind of comfort from him. Freya knew that talking to Jake will exchange her anger and give her lots of support. When that happened, she'd lose it completely.

  She'd attempted to go see her boss's wife. With her, Freya could pour out her heart and find sympathy, but also sage, clear-eyed advice. She knew the world, and she'd tell Freya what to do. Except she hadn't been home. If Freya had stopped to think about it, she would have realized that. She was at the gallery helping her husband because Freya wasn't there for the big exhibit opening. Her boss was probably even now firing Freya. Even with her refuge, she couldn't tell her the entire truth. And Freya didn't care. Her past was a huge secret that hunted her.
