“I still don’t know if Lazaro is alive. If he is, Papà will hand me right back to him. I got away from him once, but I know I won’t be able to twice. And if Lazaro is dead, there’s a good chance I’ll be forced to get remarried to someone who might be a different kind of monster. I can’t do that, Damiano. You might have me locked up here, but being back in New York would put me in a much worse prison.”
