Enzo’s face was as white as a sheet when I turned around to look at him. We all knew that Richard was going to die, but Enzo seemed completely out of it — and for good reason, of course. Even though Enzo and Richard had their differences, he was still Enzo’s father.

Enzo’s eyes snapped back to reality, and recognition flashed across his face. He nodded before rushing over to Richard’s bed and scooping him up. I heard Richard mumble Enzo’s name, and Enzo responded with some words of comfort, but I stood by the door with Luke to give them some privacy.
