Breaking the Ice (Billy Russo story)

Billy Russo didn't have it easy growing up. But he's always had himself. And he'd learned early that caring about other people was always a waste of time. He didn't want to care for anybody. Not really. His life was perfect the way it was, with his only obligation being to himself.

After his best friend Frank Castle died, Billy tried to care. He was at the funeral. He was there for Franks sister. He played his role, pretending to care, the way he liked it.

But of course he had to meet somebody. Somebody he could care for. Really care for.

And that scared him.
She scared him...
