ISABELLA
Something happened that day. That day in the garden with Leonardo and me. Something happened to us. Or between us. I could feel it in Leonardo’s eyes after he came and sense returned to him, and then me… I could feel it.
I didn't know what it was, and I didn't want to think about it, because anytime I thought about that moment, I felt like I was going to suffocate from shame, and calling him daddy? What on earth was I thinking? And that wasn't even the worst part, but how I acted, without any shame or dignity, yeah, that was the f*****g worst part.
So I stayed in my room and tried not to drown from shame, and then later that afternoon, after Sophia left and the mansion was once again silent, I heard something, something inhuman: a roar. It was so great that it shook the walls.
