Luigi sat down next to
Cody and took his hand.
“Coads, if you let
yourself get broken by what that bastard did to you, he'll have won.
You have your whole life ahead of you.”
“It sounds OK … but …
I feel … dirty. I … I can't explain it, Lou.” He pulled his
hand away from Luigi's, and put his head into his hands.
Luigi felt a surge of
intense rage build in him. Not towards Cody, but towards the man who
had done this to him. Generations of Sicilian ancestors who had
fought bitter vendettas rose up in him and he knew the chill
certainty that if he ever got the opportunity, he would personally
send the killer to hell. He didn't let his deep anger show to Cody.
Instead, he took Cody's hand back and said, “Coraggio, mio
amore. We will fight back. And we will win. Eat now.” And
as if he was feeding a baby, he offered the scrambled eggs little by
little to Cody, holding the spoon up to the other man's mouth and
making little encouraging noises while he did it. His own scrambled
eggs grew cold on the plate.
