The sensation was different last night. The pounding of her heart as if she was a maiden, touched by a man, her husband for the first time.
How his simple words had ignited a fire that was long extinguished. Could she really dream of a happy life with him just because he told her that he would learn? Just because he told her that he would confess things? Was it all that was needed to forgive him for his cold attitude, for the spin of lies and for his abandonment when she was sentenced to death!
He must have known that she did not kill Rowan. She had no reason to. She didn't even know about the wish. If she had, she would have only asked for a happy family. One that loves her and one she could love.
Her mother was the one to welcome her first with a hug. She was pleasantly surprised and could not stop praising Garrison for bringing her home.
