Annalise gave her a tight-lipped smile in return. "Annalise," She said.

Despite the circumstances, it felt good to actually use her real name for the first time in these past months and that was the only nice thing she could say about all that had happened so far. Her thoughts were still on her father and Don Roberto, she could only imagine what Don Roberto had in mind as the perfect retaliation. He had even offered to help her get revenge on her parents, that said so much.
"Annalise," One of the men said, pulling her out of her thoughts. "Well, no wonder you've been holed up out of sight. Call me Marco."
