Not quite as planned

Jovani had been looking forward to a relaxing morning after the night before. He had been hoping to spend it lounging around with his own fiancé since they didn't often get enough time together between their different jobs. 

After he had taken care of the little problem the afternoon before, the dinner had gone exactly as he hoped it would. He made sure of course not to do too much damage to the young man. His goal was never to make anyone fear him, he just wanted to make sure that they remembered their place and understood how to speak to those above them. 

"Am I going crazy or does it seem that with each generation they continue to lose the understanding and importance of respect and loyalty within the mafia?" Jovani asked Eva over dinner. He had decided to splurge that evening and get one of the more expensive bottles of red wine hoping that it would help to put him in a better mood.
