“Hey, what do you think?” he said in a low, secretive voice. “Could he be from some big family on that nameless island? If we saved him, could we trade him for Sebastian?”
Jasper glanced at him and let out a cold laugh. “You’ve been watching too many shows.”
Lucas snorted. “What do you mean? Look at his clothes. No way he’s from a normal family. What if I just got lucky?”
“You think too highly of yourself.”
“Enough.”
Noelle spoke, calm and quiet.
Both men fell silent at once.
She bent down and picked up the boy. He was shockingly light, like dry sticks in her arms.
“Who he is doesn’t matter,” she said as she turned away, her voice steady and firm. “We’ll talk after he wakes up.”

Lucas yawned. “How long is he going to sleep?”
“Be quiet,” Jasper said coldly.
“You don’t get to tell me what to do.”
“What if you wake him?”
“1-”

“Whoa!”
Lucas jumped back so fast he almost knocked over a cabinet. He clutched his chest, face pale. “That scared me! The kid opened his eyes like a zombie or something!”

“It’s okay,” Noelle said gently, moving a little closer. Her voice was soft and slow. “We found you at sea. You passed out. You’re on a boat now.”
The boy stared at her, silent.
Noelle didn’t rush him. She picked up a sandwich and held it out.

e held it closer. “It’s safe. You haven’t eaten in two days.”
He looked at her for a few seconds. Then he suddenly reached out, grabbed the sandwich, and stuffed it into his mouth. He ate fast too fast–like he hadn’t eaten in days, like he was afraid someone might take it away.

The boy paused for a second.
Then he shook his

He nodded.
“Nothing at all?”
Another nod.
Lucas widened his eyes and waved a hand in front of him. “Seriously? You hit your head or something? You forgot everything?”

No response.
“Where’s your home?”
