“Anything else?” Isaac asked, completely unfazed.
“That's all,” Freya answered. “Just those two things.”
“Freya.”
“Yes?”
“Don’t get so nervous. As long as he hasn't turned into a complete fool, there's nothing to panic over,” Isaac

He turned to her, his voice small and obedient. “What is it, Freya?”
