Chris stood in the cold wind, itching to go inside and see what was going on, but the security guards wouldn’t let him through.

When Macro came out, he saw Kevin next to Chris, trying to talk the guards into letting them in.

Macro didn’t want to get involved, but thinking about how upset Sebastian had been–and the trouble that could spill over into Long Harbor–he stopped his car and rolled down his window.

Chris tried to swallow his unease. “How’s she doing?” he asked.

Macro could tell Chris already knew about the accident. He gave him a serious look. “She’s the little princess of the Giovanni family. Her safety is none of your business.”

She was the little princess of the Giovanni family, known in Fiorenza. She was the younger sister that Sofia took everywhere and had never endured any hardship. But in Long Harbor, she found herself facing real difficulties for the first time.

“She’s not connected to you anymore. Don’t look for her again,” Macro said.

Chris’s breath caught. Hearing Macro’s words, he felt like part of his heart was missing. There was no visible blood, but the pain was deep.
