Sean POV

Thomas was already scrambling out as we arrived at Malpensa Airport, ready to handle

the luggage and check-in procedures.

The week-long negotiations in Milan had finally concluded.

"I'll take care of everything, Mr. Shaw," he assured me, the slight tremor in his voice betraying his perpetual anxiety. "The check-in counter is just inside. They're expecting

"Thank you, sir," he said politely before slipping inside.

memory.

I turned to glimpse the boy again, but he had vanished into a stall. All I could see was the top of his dark, slightly wavy hair, strangely familiar.

There's been a seating issue."

"What kind of issue?"

confirmed your seat.".

I stopped and turned to face him. "You didn't secure my seat?"

"I tried, sir, but the flight is overbooked."
