"Seriously?" he said. "Now? You're asking me this now?"
"I like her," Abe said. "She's a good girl. Hell, she's a great girl. And I want to know what you're--"
Luca caught Abe's wrist and bent down, nose to nose and eye to eye. "I pay you not to ask that question," he said, grinding the words out between his teeth and squeezing Abe's arm so hard he could feel the bone's shift. "I pay you very well not to ask that question."
The old man winced, but he didn't back down. "I just don't want to see her get hurt."
"Then don't look."
Whoa! I totally want to know what happens!
