“Hey, Eva,” Angelo greets me, decked in his usual attire of a black suit with matching waistcoat. Tonight, he wears his blue tie, the one matching his eyes. Despite my knowledge of his courtship with Alice, I still find myself mesmerised within those sensuous blue pools. Can she ever forgive me for being infatuated with her boyfriend? “Come sit with me,” he commands, and I obey. With an open hand, he gestures for me to sit on the nearest sofa, and joins my side, leaving only a sliver of air between us, inviting the presence of the hummingbird. “You look beautiful tonight.

The moment I realise I'm flirting with him, I tuck my hair behind my ears and avert my gaze. “If you don't mind me asking,” he says, “who took care of you after the accident?
This story is about the relationship between two brothers and how they faced certain obstacles. Since the narrator is also Sonny’s brother, there are definitely some advantages the narrator has considering he is telling both his story and Sonny’s.

Prologue 2015 – Villa Forenza Senior Apartments Las Vegas, Nevada You would think that a woman surrounded by so much drama in life, wouldn’t go nuts over people knowing she was found catatonic—but you'd be wrong.

2.32. The number that looked me in the eyes my first quarter of Junior year and told me I was a failure. 2.32. The number that causes a chill to go down my spine. Asking to go to the bathroom during class so I could make sure that I read this right. Could it have been a mistake? I'm sure I got more B's than this. 2.32.
