When he found out Freya had married and divorced, he'd only been pissed at Kristian for not treating her right.
But beyond that, he hadn't felt much.
Yet when he saw her spending so much twith Ellis, making that man her assistant—he had felt something
then.
“What's wrong?” Gerard poked at his cheek when he noticed him zoning out.
“Nothing,” Melvin answered, unsure how to even start.
Still stuck in guru mode, Gerard pressed, “Alright, then here’s the deal. Ask yourself this: if she ended up with
another guy, would that be okay? Would you be cool handing her off to someone else, or do you want to be the
one looking after her forever?”
“Either’s fine,” Melvin said with zero hesitation, completely serious.
That sobered Gerard up just a bit. Either was fine?
“If that guy can take care of her, treat her well, make sure she has a happy life—then I'm fine with it,” Melvin
finally admitted, the booze loosening his tongue. “But if he can’t, then yeah, I'd be pissed.” Maybe even enough
to break them up.
He kept that part to himself, thinking it sounded a little much.
Gerard blinked, then muttered, “Sounds more like you're just a protective brother.”

Love wasn't like that—it could be selfish.
If Melvin really loved Freya, even if he stepped aside for her happiness, it would still hurt. Hed still wonder why it
couldn’t be him.
But Melvin was calm. No ache. No jealousy. Clearly, it wasn’t love—it was more like a bond of family.
“But | don’t want her to leave me, or pushaway,” Melvin said softly.
“That’s normal. You two aren’t blood,” Gerard replied, assuming he was still talking about Freya. “If you two split,
that’s it—there’s no bond left. Of course you don’t want to lose her.”
Melvin’s eyes flickered. Was that really all there was to it?

“One more question—have you ever imagined holding hands with her? Cuddling? Or even kissing her?” Gerard
asked out of nowhere, his curiosity getting the better of him.
Melvin hesitated for a brief second before blurting out, almost too quickly, “No.”
Freya was his superior—entertaining such notions would be a gross breach of respect and basic decency.
Besides, what he felt wasn’t a desire to possess her for a fleeting moment, but a quiet longing to care for her
across a lifetime.
“Seriously? No?”
“No.”
