"Freya!"

Surprised she looks behind when she hears the familiar voice calling out her name.

Smiling she spots Nick at the sandbox, playing with his little nephew, James. She quickly walks over to them, setting herself next to Nick on the edge of the sandbox, ruffling her hand through James' hair. It makes him giggle and he crawls on her lap.

"Freya."

The kid wraps his arms around her neck, pleased to see her again.

"What brings you here?"

She shrugs when she hears Nick's question. "I needed some fresh air. And a place with lots of people, lots of noise. I didn't want to be alone."

The look on her face tells him all he needs to know and he carefully lets his fingers caress her cheek. Of course he notices how she flinches a little when his fingertips touch the bandana she wears on her head. He knows her hair is slowly growing back though.

Freya smiles when James slides off her lap and starts playing with the sand again. Kids are so sensible and sometimes they understand unspoken things much faster than grown-ups.

"Got the phone call already?"

She shakes her head, is glad that Nick understands her just as well and she smiles when he gently rubs her back.

"No, not yet. You'd have heard from me if I had already known..."

Nick nods and opens his mouth to comfort her. But the ringing of her cellphone interrups even before he can start. She shoots him an apologetic look before standing again. Taking some steps away from him when picking up.

Of course Nick watches her the entire time. Sees the nervousness and the fear and the pain on her face. Sees how she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. Sees how she smiles when she ends the call.

"It's okay?"

She can hear the same fear and uncertainty in his voice. Nodding she sets herself next to him again, letting her head rest on his shoulder.

"It's okay. My blood value is good again. And..."

Laughing she returns the hug he offers her.

"It's over..."

A statement she can barely believe. Perhaps she can finally start planning things again...
