The tension in the room was thick enough to cut with a knife. The cop furrowed his brow, about to speak up, when Freya suddenly lifted her head. She glanced at Walter, then turned to the officer. "Can we get a minute alone?" The cop hesitated, then ushered them and Peanut into a side room.
"Make it snappy," he said, shutting the door behind them.

It was the first tFreya had laid eyes on Walter in the four years since she got locked up.

While she was in the slammer, she found out Peanut wasn't Walter's kid and it crushed her.
Every day, she thought about grilling him for the truth when she got out, asking who Peanut's real dad was.
She also thought about coming out swinging at Walter, maybe even taking him down with her. Revenge crossed her mind too, making him hurt like she did.

Freya laughed bitterly. "But I've cto realize something. I can't blanyone else. It's all on, 's all on age.
