"Her name is Freya."
Bella's breath caught sharply in her throat. Her eyes widened as disbelief washed over her while she stared at Theo.
"Freya…" she repeated slowly, the name feeling heavy on her tongue. "Are you talking about the girl who works with Alexa?"
Theo looked momentarily surprised that she knew, then nodded. "Yeah," he said, his voice low and serious. "That Freya."
Bella's heart sank like a stone. The image of the quiet, nervous girl surfaced in her mind, the one who always seemed to be holding her breath, moving as if the floor might crack beneath her feet. A cold knot formed in her stomach.
"You need to get her out of that job," Bella said quickly, urgency sharpening her words. "As soon as possible. Theo, she isn't… she isn't safe there. Alexa is dangerous."
Theo's expression grew solemn, matching her seriousness. "That's exactly what I'm trying to do," he said, his jaw tightening. "I don't want her there either. Not with Alexa. Not for another day."
