I tighten my hold on her, and she looks back at me. "Dad? Since when do we have beef with the Russians?" Marcello added before Marco could answer Jay. Marco sighs heavily, and looks at my dad. "That would be my fault," my dad says, and I frown. "Just tell us, please dad," I say. "Before I met your mother, I dated a girl by the name of Natalya Petrov. Back then, I didn't know exactly who she really was and how she ended up in Italy.
