He got me out of there in a way that would keep me safe from my father. And he helped at the wedding—when I thought it was you, remember? I trusted you then, David. I thought… I told myself you weren't marrying her because you wanted to. I made myself believe it because I had to, to focus on that. On us. But Ash… Ash helped me, David. I wouldn't have gotten to you—to Erik—in time if he hadn't. And he got Lizbeth out for me. So, he's not just working for me."
