Chapter 13: What Her Father Sold
Nobody in the dining room moved.
I felt thirty pairs of eyes slide from Osvaldo to me.
"My father was in Buffalo last night," I said.
"Your father slept upstairs in my guest room," Osvaldo said kindly.
"Fabiano slept down the hall, and they ate at this table at nine o'clock."
"I am a host, cara, and I do not turn away a man who comes to me for peace."
He set down his glass and turned toward the door to the library.
"Benedetto," he called. "Come and tell your daughter what you did."
The library door opened.
My father came out in his gray three-piece suit with his hands folded in front of him.
He looked smaller than he ever had, and he did not look at the captains lining the walls.
He looked at me.
"Alessia," he said, in the soft voice he had used my whole life.
"Say it to the room, Papa."
He drew a breath.
