Back Country Roads
Twenty-Seven: Antonio
We have been sitting in this car for hours. Ilaria isn’t even talking to me now. I even tried to turn on the radio, but she just switches it back off. I knew I should never have told her the truth, but I suck at lying. I glance over at her. She is staring out the window looking lost in thought. Taking a deep breath. “I’m sorry that I caused the death of your mother.” I say feeling my heart break. I’ve never had to deal directly with the people’s family that I have been ordered to kill. I didn’t even know that my orders weren’t coming from Geovanni himself like they normally do.
I hear her sigh as I feel her eyes fall onto me. I don’t look at her but let her do what she needs to do. “I’m not mad at you Tony. You’re just the reaction to my action.”
