If you're determined to see Giovanni, I'm going to tell Vincenzo. I'm going to tell Raphael too. Everything. Everything your fat
My breathing became uneven. My pen snapped. The top half rolled across the desk. The bottom half stayed clenched in my fist. I looked down at the ink spreading over my fingers. It took me several seconds to realize my hand was shaking. Salvatore stayed quiet after the pen snapped. He didn't reach
"I said things, I shouldn't have. I told you that you'd have to leave because I was angry. I was grieving. I wasn't thinking like myself. I never meant you weren't family." Family. The word sounded strange. "I made Hazel a promise. I promised her I'd look after both of her girls." My fingers tig
