'Hey, kiddo. Back to playing the piano again?' Al says as he sits next to Noelle, who had finished playing house of the rising sun but didn't sing.
' I was bored and started walking around the house when i saw it again. Is everything ok with Michael ?' Noelle says, trying to take her mind off of what happened back in Sicily.
She had a feeling that someone had found out about her and Vincent's tryst but wasn't sure who. Michael hadn't confronted her yet so she wasn't sure if that was good or bad.
Noelle had known Al Neri for her entire life as well as everyone who has worked for the Corleone family since she was little.
Still, she can't bring herself to tell him.
She just wants it to stay a secret.
'You ok, little one?' Al says, a concerned look on his face. 'I don't know what scares me more, when Uncle Michael is quiet or when he's yelling at someone. It's never a good thing when he's angry and if Fredo was still alive, he would say the same thing.' Noelle says as Al gently rubs her back to soothe her.
It wasn't going to work.
Not this time.
