“Hold on,” Elena said. “That’s too much. I can’t accept that if you don’t have work for me here, I can do some work at the hospital as an average doctor.”

Massimo closed his eyes. He predicted Elena might feel too guilty about taking a full day off.

“If you’re so set on working today, I suppose there is a job you can do…”

Elena finished looking at one of the lower mafla men in Massimo’s service. “You should be fine–just keep weight off that arm for the next week,” Elena said before getting up.

As she headed to Massimo’s car, Elena sighed. She had been worried when Massimo told her to take the day off. Elena knew he had only offered such a thing because he was feeling guilty about their argument yesterday.

And knowing that only made Elena feel guilty that she had been so harsh with him.

Elena shook her head. She couldn’t focus on that when there were patients to attend to! And Massimo had given her a respectable sized list of subordinates to check in on–and Elena was determined to get through them all today!

Elena glanced over his health record as Massimo chatted with the other subordinates. Gavino had asthma as well as some kidney problems. On top of that, he had recently lost his left arm.

“You don’t have to look so sad, miss,” Gavino said. “I’m getting used to working with just my right hand now. It’s bothersome but manageable, I promise.”

Elena did her best to smile. “You tell me if that changes.”

“Yes, miss,” Gavino replied. “Have you been working with Don Massimo long? I haven’t seen you around before.

“I’m the new Ferraro family doctor,” Elena explained. “I started here a few months ago.”

Gavino nodded along. “Our paths might cross sometimes then. I’ve started doing more office work than mafia work–ever since I lost my arm, I mean.”

“How did that happen?” Elena asked. “I mean, your file doesn’t give specifics and it would be good to know so that I can more accurately treat you. But if you’re uncomfortable talking about it, I’m sure there’s something-”

“It’s alright, I don’t mind,” Gavino interrupted. Elena was getting the sense he was a very easy–going type of
