âItâs worth every second, if you get the chance. But itâs been a long time since Iâve stayed in one place, and Iâm not saying itâs why I came back, but my mumâs definitely been throwing around a little bit of the âIt would be nice to have you home againâ and âIf you donât put down some roots youâll forget how,â so here I am.â Freddie waited when Will looked like he might say something else about his travels, but he changed the subject instead. âWhat else would you be doing, in a perfect world where you werenât needed the way you are?â

âOh, I completely believe you. One day Iâll just do it. Iâll just pack some shit up and leave for a month or so,â he chuckled. âClassic mum guilt. Iâm sure she appreciates that you are back, even if itâs not for that long. Itâs always nice when mums miss you and make you feel right at home,â he grinned. âIf it were up to my father, I would be some kind of lawyer that made a lot more money. Maybe even be in parliament. I have been so anti anything my father wants for so long that the idea of that sounds atrocious to me. Iâm honestly not sure what Iâd do instead. What do you do for a living?â
