Chapter 61 Summary

While they walk to a restaurant, Sherry calls Julia on Gianluca’s phone. Raffaella told her parents what Julia said about the conspiracy, and they don’t want Julia to come anywhere near Gianluca. They also don’t want her to text Raffaella.


After they hang up, Julia expresses regret over talking to Rafaella; Julia wants to try to use her new gifts to help at Gianluca’s side. Courtney says Julia is taking on too much. After lunch, they visit four more schools, with no luck. When school offices begin to close, they head back to the villa.

Chapter 62 Summary

After dark, Julia walks to the well. There is a full moon in Scorpio. Julia sets her flashlight and Piero’s gun on the edge of the well. Then, she takes out photos of Rossi and Patrizia, as well as Patrizia’s hair and places them on the edge of the well. Julia doesn’t feel the electric tingle when she touches anything. She keeps her hand on the objects, closes her eyes, and tries to “Allow deeper” (316). Falling to her knees, Julia prays that Rossi will tell her why she brought Julia to Italy and will help Gianluca.


Suddenly, Julia hears a twig snap and Bianco starts barking.
