Dante: “Who did this to you? Give me a name.”
At 7 a.m., the shutter was only half up. The window was smashed to pieces, white roses and eucalyptus floated in the water, and the register lay tipped over in a corner. He stood in the middle of the broken glass, his suit jacket hooked over one arm, his shirtsleeves rolled to the forearm. The white scar between his thumb and forefinger was pulled tight. He wasn't looking at the shop. He was looking at you the whole time.
There was a thin red cut across the back of your hand from the glass. He saw it, and his voice dropped even lower. He reached out and caught your wrist, stopping an inch short of the cut.
Dante: “You don't have to tell me. I'll find out anyway. It just takes a little longer.”
