Summary
She couldn't let anyone know that it was she who let Johnny Quid into the house. And it was she who let him walk out the front door with that fucking painting. But she was done with fucking gangsters, gangsters' sidekicks and wannabe gangsters. She didn't choose this life. She was born into it. Lenny Cole was her father and she honestly hated his guts. But the satisfaction of watching him squirm when he realised the painting was missing was enough for her to stick around and watch his world crumble. That and watching Archy work.
Since he'd been released from prison, she'd held a torch for the man. Which wasn't helping her need for change, or her plans for escape. He'd always been the one to protect her. Had never lifted a hand to her, and was always gentle in the way he handled her. She had been 18 when he was put away for 4 years. Now, 6 years later she was idolising the man. Something had changed in him since he went away. He's much more tame than before, there were times when he would scare even her with his temper.
