“They found somebody dead?” I asked in a h oar se whisper, turning to face Enzo who had a grave look on his face. I knew from his face alone that it was true and suddenly my heart hurt. I had to leari against him. to support the weight of my body before I completely fell over.

“Who?”

I wasn’t sure I wanted to know the answer, but the knot in my stomach wasn’t going to leave this alone.

“You didn’t have to. I can see it on your face,” I said, getting a bit worked up.
