Patch Cipriano is the ultimate bad boy, from his attitude to the way he dresses. Nora describes him best when she talks about a certain night she runs into him. "Patch was dressed in the usual: black shirt, black jeans, and a thin silver necklace that flashed against his dark complexion. His sleeves were pushed up his forearms, and I could see his muscles working as he punched buttons. He was tall and lean and hard, and bore several scars, souvenirs from street fights and
other behavior."
