With a small nod, Kristian turned and left.
Felipe watched him go, bothered by the uneasy feeling that something was wrong with Kristian.
He picked up his phone and sent Gerard a message, hoping to find out what had changed with Kristian.
His friend seemed like someone else these days, and it hadn't even been two months.

After firing off his reply, Gerard spotted Kristian coming outside and hurried over to meet him. "The car's ready." Kristian nodded without a word. He slid into the backseat while Gerard took the wheel as usual.
"If you want another drink, I can wait," Gerard offered, picking up on the fact that Kristian was nowhere near drunk. "I can stay out here until you're ready.

Everyone knew that drinking without eating was hard on the body.

Just as Gerard was about to give up on a reply, Kristian finally spoke, his tone thick with feeling. "She really doesn't want to see me." "What do you mean?" "Freya." Kristian's voice carried a weight that was impossible to miss.
Gerard's hands stilled for a moment, his mind reeling.

Felipe had mentioned that Farrah and Freya's houses now sat side by side. Nobody knew how that news had landed with Kristian. Only one thought had taken over his mind: did.

"It's just a new address. Why are you so sure it's because she doesn't want to see you?" Gerard tried to cut m through the emotion, keeping his words practical. "Maybe she wanted to be closer to Ellis. Maybe that's all it is." Kristian offered no reply.
