Chapter 8: The Saint's Morning
Valentine's POV
I did not sleep.
She lay on her side with her back to me and one hand under her cheek, breathing slowly, and the gray light came up in the window over the river.
I listened to the slow, steady rhythm of her breathing.
I had not touched her since she turned over.
She had said that nothing happens unless she starts it, and I had said it first, and I meant to keep to it if it killed me.
My father's rule was no pills, no powder, and nobody who could not say no, and I had kept it twelve years.
Every time I wanted to go after Hudak, my uncle Ignazio raised a hand.
"Wait, Valentine," he would say. "A man like that has friends, and you don't spend a war on a bar."
So I had waited.
She had been in that room upstairs for nine weeks of that waiting.
