Sylvia glanced at Luca, who sat in silence, sipping his drink.
She stood from her seat and moved to sit beside him. After a brief pause, she spoke. "Did you lose your family too?"
For the first time, she had heard from this unknown person that she was strong in her own way. At the same time, it made her wonder what kind of life he had led.
Luca tilted his head slightly, his gaze finally meeting hers. "Hmm."
"Why didn't you come to us, then?" she asked, curiosity laced in her tone.
"I don't entertain mafias," Luca replied flatly. "Your brothers and I have different views, so I kept my distance from Matteo."
Sylvia let out a soft chuckle. "Matteo never listened to us, did he?"
Luca looked at her, confusion flickering in his dark eyes.
