Danny is one of the good ones.
Ellen had married him just three weeks after her father died last year. Isadora raised her eyes dutifully, and felt her vision start to swim. Hazy bands of colour fishtailed out from the ceiling fan: Yellow, orange, and green. Rest in peace, Vittorio. Ellen and Danny had married against his will. His Will.
