He gave an exaggerated sigh. 鈥淲ho's giving the report here?鈥�
She waved her hand. 鈥淧roceed then.鈥�

“His chest swelled with pride at her words. 鈥淕ood, because no one touches my girl unless she wants to be touched. No woman should ever be violated. That鈥檚 something my mom made sure we understood. She said a woman鈥檚 body was a temple, and you should never enter it without an invitation. I was just a kid and didn鈥檛 understand at the time, but she stressed it so much that I remember.”

“Dr. DeMarco nodded, motioning toward Carmine. 鈥淚鈥檓 thankful for the Mazda鈥� damn thankful you didn鈥檛 return it scratched,鈥� he said, glaring at his father. 鈥淚鈥檓 thankful to be out of that ridiculous boarding school. Thankful for music and my gun... I fucking love my gun.鈥� Haven looked at him with surprise as Dr. DeMarco laughed. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a nice gun. I checked it out. A 1911 .45 ACP. Where鈥檇 you get it?鈥�

Carmine turned to Haven. 鈥淲hat did you say?鈥�
