Baron finally had someone who cared about him. When Natalie saw him standing with his back to her, doing nothing, she couldn’t help but ask, “Baron, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing, just got some sand in my eye.”

His voice was choked, though he quickly turned and headed toward the dining room.

Natalie frowned slightly; almost instinctively, she glanced toward the living room window. Sand? There’s no sand in here.

But when she saw Baron sit down and start eating, she decided not to dwell on it.

She settled onto the couch and pulled out her phone, only to see a new friend request pop up.

That number–she knew it by heart.

It was Jensen.

She immediately declined the request and opened her phone to scroll.

Somehow, Jensen had figured out she was on her phone and began bombarding her with messages: “Natalie, will you please accept my friend request? I already had the doctor terminate Sharon’s pregnancy. I’ve locked her away and I promise I won’t ever let her show up in front of you again. October first is coming up. You once said you wanted to travel with me. I checked–we could go skiing in Veloria, how about it?”

Message after message flooded in.

Natalie’s brows drew tighter. He actually remembered I wanted to ski in Veloria? How rare.

After their breakup, Jensen’s memory seemed to have improved; unfortunately for him, she no longer cared.

Just as she was about to type a reply, a long hand reached over and snatched her phone away.

“People like this–you just block them. Why waste your time?”
