Well. I didn't think about it either, did I?

I set my jaw, offended and guilty all at once.

"I'm sorry," Bruce says, shaking his head as he sees my expression. "It's just...I think it would be good for Luca, and helpful, if you really understood his situation, and his world. You need to help him make the right choices. He's a good boy - and I can see he loves you. But he's someone who lets his emotions run away with him. He needs a bit of guidance to make the right choices - and you can help with that." "I will help him," I say, steady, meaning it. "In whatever way I can."
