Garth had seen me dressed as a leper, hungry and stinking in a cave. He'd known me as a costumed criminal on the run, even known I'd betrayed my friends to the witch hunter, yet he'd not judged me harshly. Might there be more of his story I didn't yet know?

However, will it still work as they start to grow even closer? When Oakley is forced to face someone from her past, can she hold her secret in any longer?
