Money Quote by Kristin Rae

““How could you just…not think ? I don’t understand you. I know we raised you better than that. You’ve completely disrespected us.” “I did think. I saw all the money you gave me and I thought, wow, I can do whatever I want now that I’m here and no one’s dictating me anymore.” “Oh, the money. That’s great. Your mom will love to know it’s my fault. I suppose I practically told you to skip town.””

“I stare at his relaxed face, pale in the dim light. Nearly asleep, he looks vulnerable. Like I could tell him anything I wanted and he wouldn’t remember it in the morning.

“ Ciao, Bruno! ” someone calls from a boat puttering slowly into the marina. A hard line sets Bruno’s jaw for a split second before he smiles and turns. “ Ciao, Mauro! ” Bruno shouts back. Mauro?
