La Cosa Nostra

"Care for a whiskey?" I turn to find Sergio standing at the doorway of the back door, two whiskeys in his hand. 


"Sure." He hands me one, taking a seat next to me. 


"My wife can be quite overwhelming at times." he says. 


I turn to him and shake my head. "No, Giada's amazing. I'm just.."trailing off, finding the right words. 


"Not used to all this?" he offers and I nod. 


He smiles, "Have you ever thought about tracking down your birth parents?" 


I stiffen and he notices. "I'm sorry, You don't have to answer if you don't want to." 


"You just took me by surprise, that's all. I thought about it actually,before I left for college. I asked Thomas if he knew about them but he said that he never tracked them down when he took me in. He wanted it to be my decision." 


"He did the right thing. So, why didn't you?" 


"I was scared of what I would find. I didn't want to know if I was the child of a rapist, drug addict or murderer, although that would have been ironic."
