“I’ll help…if I can.”
“Thank you.”
“Don’t expect miracles, though. You know, if this plan doesn’t work, it can be very bad for the family. Moretti likes to know people are on his side, that he has their absolute loyalty. This could piss him off. It could put a lot at risk just starting a dialogue about Paige. I’m not just talking about Pops. I mean. You. Me. Our family. Paige and Sophia. Paige may not want this marriage, but the best thing for everyone, including her, might be to let it happen.”
I swallowed hard. He had a point, but I didn’t care.
“She can’t. It will break her. I know Paige. Marrying Moretti, giving into a life where she’s practically chattel… She won’t be able to live through that.”
“I just want you to know what you’re walking into, because it won’t be about Paige alone. Anyway, I said I’ll help.” Dominic lay punched me in the arm. “Dude. I’ve never seen you like this over a woman.”
“Shut it.”
“Anyway, getting time with Pops will be tough. If he’ll talk about it at all. And that’s still just getting our foot in the door.”
“I know.”
Dominic nodded. “Okay. I’ll make the call.”
