Flynn dipped his head gratefully. “Then I'll leave it in your hands, Mr. Gunn. | 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.
Out in the courtyard, Natalie had stepped away from her room. Her sketches had stalled, inspiration slipping
through her fingers, so she'd gone out to breathe and reset.
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.
The kind of shock that said you shouldn't exist.
Natalie frowned. “Why are you looking atlike 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. | didn’t mean to stare.”
Baron emerged just in tto hear those words.
Family? Flynn and Natalie?
He remembered the donor reports, the uncanny match. A possibility took root.
Could Flynn truly be tied to Natalie by blood?
Natalie had been ready to scoff at a cheap line, but Baron cut in smoothly. “Natalie, letintroduce 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, | 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.

But fate hadn't given her that kind of
grace.
He forced a smile. “Mr. Gunn, I'll take my leave.”
“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 | 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.”
His blunt protectiveness made her shake her head, amused and exasperated all at once.
Still, her eyes followed Flynn's shadow. “Why was he here? He didn’t cfor money, did he?”
Baron chuckled. “The Stone family? Hardly. Their fortune is larger than you'd think. Flynn cto askto
reach Witch Doctor. His mother-Ruby Stone, another donor-developed a clotting disorder.”
Natalie's chest tightened. “Because of the donation?”
“It’s possible. Or something else entirely. Only Witch Doctor will know for sure.”
Natalie studied him sidelong. “You and Witch Doctor must be close. No one else can ever find him, yet you... he
does everything you ask.”
Her words made his pulse hitch. For a moment, he nearly told her the truth-that Witch Doctor was him.
But then he remembered the sins of five years ago, the shshe still carried.
He tried carefully: “And... what do you think of Witch Doctor?”
Natalie's lips curved in a cold half-smile. “A weirdo. Brilliant hands, rotten soul.”
She turned away.
Baron's chest sank heavy and cold.
