The last nightmare was only terrifying at the beginning. Not the end. That's the thought that sticks with me now, nestling itself into my mind as Luciano and I stare at each other.
When I told him that the words he just spoke were also words he spoke in my dream—the dream that ended right when it needed to so that I could get out of the bedroom in one piece—I watched more emotions swell in him that I couldn't place.
It's a stunning contrast to witness. He's confident, powerful, strong, and arrogant. And he's a killer. There's no getting past that.
To be a killer like him is no small thing. Something inside has to be unflinching and cold. I have no doubt those parts of Luciano exist. They have to. He couldn't kill Lawson so easily and with such little remorse if they didn't.
