...my mind drifted to my family. I thought about how I had the opportunity to serve them. I didn’t have to carry them across a freezing river in the middle of a snowstorm or give them my food when they didn’t have enough. There would be other streams they would need help to cross, and I’d be there for them, always and in whatever way they needed me. ↗

This was the point – this was where the nerve was touched and teased – this was where the fever was sustained and fed: she could not charm him. ↗
