" Gideon has lost far too much, and he’s spent years desperately trying to hold on to memories of a happier time.
Now he’s holding on to me instead of setting me free—as if he’s afraid of losing me again.
Does he truly not know that I wouldn’t go? That this is my home, has always been my home, and my place has always been at his side?
I just want to be free. Not free of him. "
