It hurt so much.

The burning heat seared her skin until she bit through her own lip, crushed her molars, and still couldn’t

bear it.

In that moment, she would have rather died instantly than suffer this slow, torturous death by fire.

As Natalie’s life flashed before her eyes- twenty–three years of helplessness and frustration she could only close them with a bitter heart, powerless to change her fate.

Then, from somewhere within the inferno, a familiar voice rang out.

“Natalie! Can you hear me? Where are you?”

“Natalie! You slept with me, you can’t just walk away! Do you hear me?!”

“I haven’t even told you my name yet! Natalie!”

Baron’s voice hit her ears like a hallucination.

She thought maybe she’d lost her mind.

Baron’s face flashed through her thoughts – that kind, stubborn man – and she realized she still didn’t know his name.

Maybe that was for the best. If she died, at least she wouldn’t leave any burdens behind.
