The Witness No One Expected

At sunrise, Lily and I moved into the third floor of Dominic Moretti's mansion.

Calling it a third floor was misleading.

It was another world.

The public rooms downstairs were designed to impress people—marble pillars, museum paintings, crystal chandeliers, polished silver.

Upstairs felt different.

Human.

There were photographs on the walls.

Ethan missing his front teeth.

Dominic holding him as a baby.
