Vincent Crime family, Book Eight - Matteo Concetta left the day of his birthday party for one heart breaking reason. Three years later, he returned to where it all went down. Well, sort of. Things changed so much since the last time he stood on this property. His brother, having not handled the fact he was missing for three years, forced him to stay, and even got a babysitter for him.

But most importantly, it was the day that sixteen-year-old Matteo had a meltdown over hearing what he had said to Matteo's mother. Three years later, and the night still weighted heavy on them both. But that, I guess that is to be expected when Matteo confessed his love and then disappeared.
