"And she had you, too."
Lois looked at him puzzled.
"Both of your parents left you, repeatedly. I've gathered that much, so nothing in your past showed you that someone could stay. But Lucy... Lucy had you. You promised her you'd never be separated and you did whatever it took, including marrying me, to make sure that didn't happen. *You* never left her."
So. Freaking. Touching.
Honestly, I think this is one of if not the most insightful part of the story so far.
Torturous deaths, eh?
Okay, I don't know how reliable this is, but the Russian mafia pops up a lot in books I read, and they always seem to kill using
zamochit, and it's described as breaking every bone in your body. In the stories I've read, the mafia starts by breaking your fingers and kind of working from there.
Sounds pretty painful to me regardless of accuracy.
Terrific part, Carol, can't wait to find out where this goes next.
