No Longer Lovesick After a Memory Loss

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Freya awoke, sensing a significant improvement in her physical strength. However, her body was still sore with pain from her injuries.

She got up and decided to watch a DVD to pass the time. She picked an old classic, “The Silence of the Lambs.” As she watched, the protagonist described the taste of human liver with an unsettling relish. She wrinkled her brow and glanced at the collection of DVDs, all with dark and heavy themes. The unsettling. content made her switch it off.

Suddenly, there was a knock on her door. A voice announced, “Miss Kaufmann, I’m coming in.”

When the man entered, Freya recognized him as the person who had taken a gun from the flower bed. outside the Kaufmann Residence and asked, “What do you want?”

The man’s expression remained stoic. “It’s time for your outdoor break.”

She couldn’t help but feel like she was being treated like a prisoner. She reluctantly followed the man, hoping to gain insight into her current situation and where she might be. Following the man down the long corridor to the deck, she noticed a weathered table from a cargo ship nearby, filled with food and snacks.

Now dressed differently in a loose white vest that revealed his muscular chest, Jamie sat at the table with a commanding presence.

At that moment, she clenched her teeth and felt a strong urge to toss this man into the sea as shark bait.

Just as she simmered with anger, he looked at her intently, flashed a sly smile, and said, “Miss Kaufmann, would you like to chat?”

Suppressing her anger, she walked over and sat across from him. Her eyes drifted toward the sea, attempting to deduce their location based on the wind and temperature.

However, Jamie broke the silence and said, “After you passed out yesterday, we left Caltun and hopped onto a speedboat along the river to reach Sapphire Bay. Then, we went ashore, bypassing all the surveillance cameras through Thornwood Grove. Finally, we arrived in Eldoria and departed from Harbor Haven Dock.”

Freya suddenly turned her head, finding him still wearing that smile as he gestured toward a nearby island. “See that? That’s Shadowcloak Isle.”
