Thomas: Grace, I can't escape the pain I've caused. Asya suffered, and it's my fault. I need to let you go......I love her, and I've made her life a misery.

The wind rustled through the trees.

Thomas: I need to win her back, Grace. I'm sorry for everything. She loves Charlie, and I promise to be the father he deserves. Please, don't worry about us.

The crackling of the fire seemed to echo his internal struggle as Thomas gazed into the dancing flames
