"Hold still."
| dabbed at Matt's bloody nose with an antiseptic wipe. He winced, but didn't pull away as | cleaned away the
oozing blood to reveal raw, bruised skin.
"It's not broken," I said softly. "Just cut up real good."
"Fuck. I'm so sorry, Matt,” Enzo, who was standing besidewith his fingers curled up in his hair, said. "I really
didn't mean to 17

"Hey." M
"Still." Enzo cursed under his breath and turned away. He rubbed his bloody knuckles on his shirt and shook his
head, but said nothing more.
| chewed my lip as I looked back and forth between the two of them. The scene | had walked in on was so
shocking and grotesque; Enzo hunched over Matt, his fist raised. Matt's hand wrapped around Enzo's fist, his arm
quivering from the strain of trying to hold Enzo back.
And the look in Enzo's eyes. Oh, the look. It was as if he had gone feral, like a wild dog. | don't know where his
mind went during those moments, but it certainly wasn't here. He only seemed to cfully back to his senses

Matt's words made my blood run cold. "I'll talk to him later," | said softly. | turned to see Enzo pacing back and
forth down the hallway, still clutching his hair. It was clear, in my mind, that what had happened with Mila had
truly affected him.

"So he just... freaked out?" Jessica asked. "just like that?"
| nodded, my face warming over my cup of tea. Lori, Jessica and | were sitting in our favorite corner booth in the
diner, sharing a plate of fries and swarm drinks.
| was hardly touching the fries, though. The image of Matt's bloodied was still fresh in my mind, like the icing on
top of a cake baked by Mila and her grotesque cult.
"He's seemed... off ever since we cback," | said. "Which is no surprise, but still."
Lori sighed and pushed her coffee away from herself. "PTSD, you think?" she asked.
| chewed the inside of my cheek and nodded. "That's my best bet. | mean, after everything that's happened, it's
expected. But Enzo has been so strong that | guess | just never thought it would affect him like this."

"Yeah. | know." | bit my lip and stared blankly down at the steam rising out of my teacup. "I've tried talking to
him about exactly that, but it's like he doesn't hear it. | don't think he'll listen to me."
Jessica leaned forward and placed her hand on top of mine. "You're his wife. Of course he'll listen to you."
