Kindle Notes & Highlights
Lisichka (лиси́чка) – little fox.
“Because her name is Angelina Sofia Sandoval,” I say. “She’s Manny Sandoval’s daughter, Roman.”
“Okay.” I head upstairs. “But you should know one thing. I’m keeping her, Roman.”
His lips widen. “I will find out, lisichka.”
“Lisichka?” I raise an eyebrow. I don’t know that word. “Little fox.” He takes my chin between his fingers. “Appropriate, don’t you think?” “Not really.”
He smiles, shakes his head, and gets up from the recliner. I forgot just how tall he is. “Yes, I think it’s perfect.” He brushes my chin with his thumb, then turns and heads toward the door. “Go back to sleep, my little liar.”
Consider your late wife before you even think about tangling yourself up with this girl.”
Never presume someone is dead until he’s sporting a hole in his head. That’s my motto. It even rhymes.
