    “Yeah?” he replied.


    “Let’s start a family,” she said, her voice soft but certain. She adored kids and dreamed of raising one with him.


    Ellis paused, then met her gaze. “You mean it?”


    “Absolutely,” Freya nodded.


    Seeing her sincerity, Ellis smiled. “Okay.”


    The next day, they held a small wedding on the open field outside the base. Only their nearest and dearest were there. The ceremony was short, barely ten minutes, nned carefully by Freya and Ellis.


    n, watching such a quick wedding for the first time, turned to Freya. “That’s it? That’s how you wanted it?”


    “Yup,” Freya said with a smile.


    “It’s over already?” he asked, stunned.


    “Yup,” she replied, still smiling.

    The simple wedding carried a tender sweetness—an air of freedom and the quiet certainty of true love. That afternoon, just as the crowd was leaving the base, someone hurried up to Ellis and reported, “Someone tried to get in this morning, but we stopped him.”

    Just then, Freya emerged with her friends. When she caught sight of the look on Ellis’s face, she walked straight over and asked, “What’s going on?”


    “Kristian came by earlier,” Ellis replied, not bothering to keep it from her as he handed the phone back.


    Freya froze for a second.


    Ellis reached out and took her hand. “Let’s go.”


    “Alright.”


    They left the base together.


    But what they hadn’t expected was to find Kristian waiting just outside their home.
