Chapter 19: The Affidavit

We sat.

Valerio took the chair with its back to the window, which I'd never seen him do in my life.

Fiorella stood over us for a moment.

Then she sat down hard.

"Two years," she said to him. "You had this two years."

"Since the week after the funeral."

"And you let me call you a murderer. At the church. At her grave. In front of the whole Hill."

"Yes."

"Why?"

Valerio looked at his hands.

"Because you'd already lost her," he said. "I didn't want you to lose her twice."

Fiorella made a sound I'd never heard a person make.

She put a hand over her mouth and held it there.

Behind the counter, the nephew turned away and looked at the wall.

The two men beside him hadn't moved since the tape started.

Fiorella looked at them over her hand.

"Go in the back," she said.

They went.

"You know whose voices the mechanic meant," I said.

"I know." She took her hand away. "They're mine to answer for."

"Then answer for them to the police," I said. "Nobody dies over this. Not for her. Not for Tito."
