"Don't worry, everything will be okay as long as I'm here, you know that, right?""Yes, Uncle," the little girl nodded.

It’s time to go home.''"What do you mean we're going home, Logan? Are you seriously considering challenging Eliza?" Amelia's voice rose as she confronted her son, the strain evident in her cough.Logan met his mother's gaze. "No, Mom. I would never get to challenge her. May her soul rest in peace for now.""Rest in peace? What happened to her? Please don't tell me she's..." Before Amelia could finish, Logan interjected, "Yes, she's gone. The kidnappers ended her life while I thought she could help negotiate your release.""Good heavens, Logan. Do you really think Diane is in any state to see you right now?"
