by Matthew T. Caffrey
Twenty years after the bonfire, Vinnie is alive.
Older now. Alone. Living in Rome under a name he never wanted.
Farloh.
He drinks coffee near the Villa Borghese, watches the bougainvillea climb the old stone walls, and tries very hard not to become the thing he sacrificed himself to contain.
Across the ocean, William wakes from a dream.
He has never been to Italy.
But he saw Rome.
He saw the flowers.
He saw the old man.
And for the first time in his life, he knows the truth.
His father is still alive.
