Grift Sense (2003)
“The priest, Father Murphy, had at first said no—he did not marry children—then changed his mind when Sonny slipped him a C note, and he forever bonded them in holy matrimony.
“I wish I didn't have to leave,” Sonny said as they stood on the church steps. “You know that, don't you?”
“Yes,” Nola replied. “I know that.”
“I'm sorry it has to be like this,” he said.
“So am I.”
“I'll come back for you. I promise. I will come back.”
“Stop saying it, then.”
Nola twirled the gold band encircling the thir...d finger on her left hand. Rain spit on their heads. She had wanted her wedding day to be the Sound of Music; instead, it was On the Waterfront. Sonny took his leather jacket off and covered her shoulders. She shut her eyes as he kissed her on the lips, wishing the moment would last forever.
The shrill blast of a car's horn ruined the moment. Sonny's father, Elvis Fontana, owner of Elvis's House of Billiards, sat in a rusted-out Lincoln across the street, looking homicidal.MoreLess
