He goes where his bride takes him and he sits down gingerly and lets the
younger fuss over him. He watches as he fills the sink, supposedly to wet
more towels to wipe away the blood on him. He had left Luca to get Sizhui

"It's not too late to annul it."
Though the Church would have something to say about that. Not to mention

and secrecy and darkness that comes from being married to the head of a
Mafia family.
