The four of them begin to chat lightly, then, and | quietly slip away from my spot beneath my father’s arm, moving to Daniel’sside. | nod back to the little alcove that we left, asking him as subtly as he can to take me there.

know he should.So quickly, without fuss, Daniel and | move away.
“What the hell is going on,” | hiss to him, looking anxiously around the party — searching, if I’m being honest, for a blonde head ofhair amongst this sea of dark—haired Italians, and failing.
“It's an ambush,” Daniel whispers back, glancing over his shoulder. “That was well done on you, though, greeting your dad likethat. It put us in a good position.”
“Good,” | murmur, stopping when we reach our little bench but not sitting down on it, instead smoothing my hands anxiouslydown the length of my dress. “What did you mean when you said it was an ambush?”
“Everyone who just came in is from a rival family,” Daniel replies, shaking his head a little and looking around at everyone. “Theywere not invited, but somehow figured out that Alessi and
Natalia are visiting, and that they’d be here tonight. If | had to guess, I’d say these other families are going to make some kind ofplay to turn the Bianci family against my dad and towards them.”
“Christ,” | curse, clenching my teeth. “What can we do?”“Nothing,” Daniel sighs, likewise anxious. “Or get whatever information we can, | guess. And make sure we don’t fuck up.”| look at him with worried eyes. “Not my strong suit,” | mutter.
“You're better than you think, Fay,” Daniel replies passively, not looking at me and surveying the party instead. | see his eyesflash a little. “Seriously?” he whispers to himself. “They're here?”
“Who?” | ask, eager.
“The fucking Russians,” Daniel replies, his voice low and angry. “The Kozlovs. Your boy lvan must have brought them they’re hisbiggest tie, besides Alden. God damn it.”
“Is that bad?” | ask.
“Yes, Fay,” Daniel replies, looking at me a little angrily. | glare back, because how the hell was | supposed to know that when noone tells me anything. “They've notoriously got the weakest hold in the city’s underworld. It used to be Ivan, but he surpassedthem when he got in the drug game. But if they’re willing to come here, in open defiance of my dad?” Daniel shakes his head,

As the two approach, the music changes, going from pleasant background music to an orchestral tango, causing the partyguests to clear from a dance floor that | hadn’t realized was there. A few couples take to it, beginning to spin around expertly.
