Epilogue

Gina, The Present

“Regina, come on! You can fly next!” David’s black hair is a mess, windblown, full of sand, and dripping with salt water.

I think he’s more of a daredevil than I am. We’ve spent the morning flyboarding. Think extreme water sports with a hover board.

No one has any clue where I am, and they never will.

My actions at Ricky’s club accidentally wedged both of us in a war between the Gambino and Ferro families. I found out later Constance knew something would happen, and she was ready when it did.

I sip my drink and think back years, recalling the meeting that explained everything...
