Chapter 19: It's Hers
Every face at that table turned to Teo.
I watched him understand it.
The chair he'd stood in a church for, that his father had wanted his whole life.
It was sitting in front of him on a white tablecloth, and all he had to do was say yes.
Ruggero was still smiling.
If Teo took it, I was a wife again, and a wife was a thing a man held.
If Teo took it, Ruggero would spend ten years telling every Don in Chicago the same story.
The Valenti boy married the bakery girl twice for a chair, and the second time it worked.

He looked down the table at me.
The Don from Cicero cleared his throat.
