Flynn dipped his head gratefully. “Then I’ll leave it in your hands, Mr. Gunn. I need to return to my mother’s side.”

Baron didn’t try to stop him. “I’ll have someone see you out.”

“No, no–that’s not necessary.” Flynn was clearly uneasy in this world of Baron’s, and hurried toward the exit.

The crunch of footsteps on stone made her turn. Flynn stopped short.

Their eyes met. For a heartbeat, his face showed not admiration but shock.

Natalie frowned. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Flynn startled, color rushing back into his face. “Forgive me, miss. You just… you look very much like someone from my family. Someone who’s passed away. I didn’t mean to stare.”

Baron emerged just in time to hear those words.

Natalie had been ready to scoff at a cheap line, but Baron cut in smoothly. “Natalie, let me introduce him properly. This is Flynn Stone–one of the people who donated skin for your grafts.”

Her breath caught. She stepped forward quickly, offering her hand, “Mr. Stone, I’m sorry, I was rude a moment ago.”

“No harm done.”

Flynn’s grip was brief, his eyes lingering on her face. Too much like… too much. If not for his sister’s grave, he could have sworn she stood here now.

“Safe travels.”

Baron gestured for a man to escort him out.

Natalie’s gaze trailed after Flynn, her brows faintly furrowed.

Baron’s arm slid around her waist, tugging her close. “Natalie, you plan to stare at another man in front of me? Am I invisible to you?”

She blinked, then laughed under her breath. “You’re imagining things. Besides you, who would ever look twice at me?”

“They’re blind, then.”
