Chapter 127

• Jesus Christ. Why wouldn't she just go? Why was she tempting me like this? "She already mourned her sister. She stayed holed up in her room for weeks doing just that."
• "But not with her parents. She needs this time with her family, Luca."
• He was right. I knew this. But I couldn't stand the fact that she was putting herself in harm's way for something that wasn't absolutely necessary. From what she'd said, her sister was a bitch to her and treated her no better than a lowly servant. I don't know that I would show my father or my own brother the same respect when the time came. "She's a fool."
