Leo laughed, but Gelo rolled his eyes and grabbed Bubba's elbow.
"Come on, worrywart," he said.
He pulled Bubba toward the front porch and had to put a lot of effort into it. Bubba was a big, big man.
"But they don't know how he is," I heard Bubba hiss.

"Don't say it," I pleaded.
"You have to face the truth,orsacchiotto(teddy bear)," Angelo whispered in my ear, his arm around my waist. "The sooner you do, the sooner we can find ways to help Reau cope."
I nodded, my eyes stinging. I didn't want to accept it, but I had to.
Reau's wolf wasn't asleep.
