Chapter 90

• She watched Damiano leave in a hurry, looking for a discreet place to talk on the phone. Her first impulse was to get up, and at the same moment, Martha glared at her furiously to get her to sit down again. She didn't know what to do, but without a choice, she had to wait until she saw him again, her hands completely tied by what was happening under her eyes.
• “What happened?” the man asked into the phone, waiting anxiously for Damiano's answer.
