Have you ever held on to something, and not said anything, because you were worried about the fallout?
Even though just saying it would 100% lift that weight off your chest?
Buckle up, because I think you know where this one is going
I want to come clean about something I know I’ve mentioned that my family is powerful, and dangerous But I don’t mean dangerous like “don’t let Aunt Mildred get into the wine before noon” and I don’t mean powerful as in “dad is friends with the local police chief”
I mean legitimately, lethally dangerous, and powerful on a global scale
(This is me taking a deep breath…)
My family is mafia Not a small-time one, either The kind that you don’t even know exist unless it’s on the front page of the New York Times
I hope that sound I hear isn’t the echo of your footsteps running the fuck away…
But if it is, I get it Most people don’t really know what to do with that kind of information
Remember that joke you made about sneaking in through my bedroom window to hang out when you just thought my father was “strict”?
Bet you’re rethinking that one!
Totally fair
I just didn’t want to keep sidestepping it You’ve been honest with me, and I didn’t want to build this whole thing on half-truths
Besides, you’ve always struck me as someone who doesn’t scare easy
So… still there?
