A psychology assignment destroys a woman's bond with her mob guardian; a brain tumor forces a final goodbye.
Mara texts Roman DeLuca, the don who became her guardian after her parents died in an ambush targeting his family, as part of a class exercise. His 2 a.m. reply rejects her affection as dependence, then he revokes her privileges, cuts their secure line, and orders his underboss Luca to cease monitoring her. Security at DeLuca Tower bars her entry with instructions to admit rivals before her. For six months Roman avoids her at every encounter. Then a doctor diagnoses an aggressive glioma pressing into the brain regions controlling language and memory, leaving her limited time for a final farewell.
