Freya's POV
"That's not necessary." Losing nearly ten thousand might sting a little, but I'm not petty enough to ask for reimbursement. We just made our relationship official, and requesting money from my boyfriend would make me look like I'm only interested in his wealth. "Money spent on fun is worth it, and I haven't played cards in over six months. This was a rare opportunity."
"As long as you enjoyed yourself." Mack Ben's voice carried a slight nod of approval, though I could hear the apology threading through his words. "Our first official date and I had to cancel on you. I was concerned you might be upset. Knowing you're with friends puts my mind at ease."
"Is that why you called?"
"Exactly. I'm still tied up here, probably won't be free until very late tonight. Please head home after dinner and don't stay out too long. Your leg hasn't completely healed yet."
