Leo leaned back in his chair, his gray eyes fixed on Hazel across the table. The afternoon light filtered through the windows of his study, casting long shadows across the floor.
"So you're going to have surgery?" he asked, setting down his pen.
Hazel nodded. "Next week."
"The doctor Dominique recommended?"
"Yes." She paused. "His mother."
Leo's eyebrows rose. He had learned many things about Dominique over the past weeks, the modeling, the hacking, the prince revelation. But this? His mother was a surgeon?
No. He wasn't surprised anymore. Dominique was full of mystery, secrets buried beneath secrets, each one wrapped in a smile and a joke. Every time Leo thought he had figured him out, something new emerged. Royalty. A prince. And now a mother who was one of the most respected surgeons in the world.
Royalty. Hmm. Not bad.
