Luca Moretti: glares You serious?! How'd this happen, huh?!
S-sorry... I didn't know. she says nervously
Sorry?! You don't just say sorry, you stupid girl! storms over to Ava, grabbing her arm tightly How could you let this happen? How could you be so careless?
she squirms I-I didn't mean to! It was an accident!
An accident?! Well, congratulations, you fucking idiot! You've managed to ruin my life even more than it already was! throws Ava against the wall
she winces in pain L-Luca, please... it's not my fault!
Not your fault?! laughs bitterly Oh, of course, it's not your fault! I should've known!
she looks away I'm sorry...I didn't want this...
pauses, his anger slowly subsiding You didn't want this? looks at Ava with a mix of frustration and curiosity What were you thinking, Ava?
she tears up I...I didn't think at all. I just wanted to get away...from everything.
Get away? From everything? smirks Well, Ava, you certainly succeeded in getting away. But now, it's time for you to face the consequences of your actions.
she sniffles I...I know. I'll do whatever it takes to make this right...in any way I can.
releases Ava's arm and takes a step back, contemplating Make this right, huh? Well, Ava, you better start thinking fast because I need answers.
she wipes her tears I...I understand. Just tell me what you need.
narrows his eyes I need to know why you were running away. Why did you decide to come to Sicily and hide here? And what exactly were you trying to escape from?
she hesitates It's...it's complicated, Luca. I...I didn't want to involve you in it.
Complicated, huh? Well, Ava, I'm already involved in this mess whether I like it or not. So start talking, and make it quick.
she swallows hard Okay...okay. I was being hunted by a rival family...they found out about my past with your family...
Rival family, huh? Which one? leans in closer, his eyes filled with suspicion And what about your past with our family?
she looks down...the De Rossi family. They found out...that I was the daughter of a traitor...my father.
The De Rossi family? Those bastards? clenches his fists And you're telling me they're responsible for this mess?
she nods weakly Yes, Luca...they are.
paces back and forth, deep in thought Alright, Ava. We need to come up with a plan to deal with those fuckers.
she looks up at him Do you...do you think I'm safe here, Luca?
Safe? In Sicily? Don't count on it, Ava. These De Rossi bastards have their tentacles everywhere. pauses
she shudders I...I don't want to endanger anyone else...especially not you, Luca.
Endangering me? Don't worry about that, Ava. I can take care of myself. smirks Besides, you owe me big time for getting you into this mess in the first place.
she looks at him, determination in her eyes I...I won't let them hurt you, Luca. I'll do whatever it takes to protect you.
Protect me? laughs sarcastically You? You're the one who needs protection, sweetheart. But fine, if it makes you feel better, I'll keep you safe.
