The Mafia's Mercy
The memory fades, the kitchen dissolving into mist, and I’m back in Marcel’s arms, his tears falling onto my face.
“I love you,” I breathe, my voice barely a whisper. “I loved you all my life.”
He clutches me tighter, a sob tearing from his throat. “Don’t leave me,” he begs, his voice breaking. “Please, Mercy. Don’t go where I can’t follow.”
But it’s too late. The darkness is closing in, pulling me under. I feel his lips on mine, a final, desperate kiss.
And finally…peace.
Endless peace, and the lingering echo of a love that will live on.
Even in death.
