“You just wanted to remind me how Leo died at your hands.” I walked forward and snatched the sketchbook from his grip. Then, in front of everyone, I tore it apart. Page by page.
The shredded paper fluttered down like snow, landing on Adriano’s shocked and broken face.
“My name is Carina Morrison,” I said, staring into his shattered eyes, enunciating every word. “The Carina Moretti who loved you, the one whose brother you let die, the one who lost her child… I buried her myself. Right along with this sketchbook.”
