York followed his line of sight and saw Thorne and Vesta. They didn't seem to be leaving but had instead En found their way to a nearby café. Dalton's eyes stayed locked on them. "That girl... could the rumors be true? Does Thorne really have a daughter?" York wasn't all that interested in the gossip. "Maybe." Dalton stood there, lips pressed together.
