Romeo:
@Matteo Why???
Matteo:
@Romeo Trying to get himself killed by touching the daughter of a psychopath.
Luca:
@Romeo Return my fucking calls. It’s important.
Romeo:
@Luca Is it life or death??? Because you Chatty Kathys all seem alive and well right now.
Luca:
@Romeo It could be. Shit, could it be that???
Theo:
@Luca Stop being cryptic.
Matteo:
@Luca Sharing is caring, little bro.
Romeo has left the chat.
Matteo:
@Luca Look what you went and did now. The smart twin left us with you…
Luca:
@Matteo Sticks and stones…
Before I can add Romeo back into the group chat, my phone lights up with his name on the screen. “Hey.”
“You good?” he asks me.
“I think so,” I tell him.
“What’s going on?”
“How long you going to be in Rome?” I say, instead of telling him that I’m obsessing over what’s going on with Ma.
“Just for the day,” Romeo replies. “If you need me to come back, I can.”
“Nah, it’s cool. Have a great day with Tilly,” I say before adding, “I’ll see you when you get back.”
“Luca, if you need me, call. I’ll answer,” he says.
“Okay, I will,” I tell him and hang up.
ChapterTwenty-Two
Kyla wanted to meet me at a café. I have no idea what she told her parents or her friend she was doing today. I really don’t care either.
