Freya's POV
Bang!
My brain short-circuited, heat flooding my cheeks as my unfinished words died in my throat.
He actually saw it!
I withdrew the message seconds after hitting send, but somehow Mack still caught it!
Frozen in shock, I stared at my phone screen, mouth agape, my mind completely blank.
The device suddenly buzzed to life, switching to an incoming call interface. Mack Ben's name flashed across the display—he was calling me!
Pure panic seized me as I frantically declined the call, my finger moving on pure instinct.
There I was again, being a complete coward, too terrified to even take his call.
Instant regret crashed over me for sending that impulsive message. Why couldn't I control myself?
My face burned like fire as I set the phone aside, burying my face in my hands and sinking back into the sofa cushions. My heart hammered against my ribs so hard I could feel each beat.
