ARRANGED MARRIAGE
A smile paints onto my face as I answer.
"Yes, I'm alive." I say, laughing into the phone.
"I had to call and make sure." Dionne says, laughing back. "Did you make sure to get your tattoo the other day?" she asks.
"Yeah, it's already healed up pretty well." I say feeling behind my ear. I had to get a tattoo of the mafia crest to signify my place in the mafia. Dionne did the same in the same place to let it be known that she mine and that she's the Queen. Once our children turn seventeen, they'll get one too, in the same place. Everyone else who isn't a Foster by blood has the same tattoo on their wrists. If it fades, we get it filled. Just a mark of loyalty is all.
