VICTORIA
Gianna, why does he keep calling her that? I hate the sound of it; it’s too flowery, too pretty. I thought mom had gotten rid of it a long time ago; even dad had stopped using it after a while. Now hearing Gabriel Russo say it makes me feel like my head will explode. I bit my tongue to keep the scream that I’ve been holding in since he walked through the door with her inside.
I’ve spent the last few hours in torment, wondering what they were doing and trying to make sense of what was going on. Now he’s holding her hand and talking about her like she’s something special. My heart is pounding hard with anger, but all I can do is clench my fists as I watch him saying something quietly to her at the door before leaving.
