“She’s certainly beautiful,” Doyle said.
“No, she’s stunning,” I corrected him.

“And she has such an amazing laughter... just like...”
“Bells ringing from heaven,” he completed.

“And when she laughs like that, her face lights up like the sun...”

“Brings her flowers...”
“Takes her for walks in the woods...”
“Says the right thing-”
“-in the right place-”
“-at the right time.”

I flopped down in the grass and let out a sigh.
“Maybe if Flynt was out of the picture, she’d look my way once in a while-”
“No way, forget it,” Doyle said, “You don’t stand a chance, Lou. Not... a... chance.”

Doyle’s words echo in Lumina’s head, over 24 years later. ‘Not a chance, he had said. And yet, here I am,’ he thinks, ‘raising Daphne’s daughter...
‘Daphne... poor, poor Daphne... she died when Siffera was just two; may God have mercy on her soul. And Flynt’s in his grave now too...’

‘But I did the right thing... right? Right?’
