Eliza was beside herself with emotion. She looked so fragile, so pitiful, like a delicate white flower battered by the storm.

He could have let her see him. But he couldn't. Not now, at least.

"Don't go crazy on me." He grabbed her trembling shoulders, speaking earnestly. "I promise. I won't make you wait too long, okay?"

"Do you think I can still trust you?" She laughed bitterly, tears streaming down her face. "Casper, I've already died once. I don't want to die a second time. Can you let me go? Let my family go?" "No one's trying to kill you." He cupped her tear-streaked face, half coaxing, "I'm not holding you or your family back. Some things are just... ah!"

"You asked for it."
