In his kidnapper's house, Vic's is the only gentle touch Kellin knows. He wants to run, but his efforts are thwarted every time he tries--and every time he fails, it's Vic who pays the price.
Vic--in turn--is tired of the beatings, tired of watching Kellin's face crumple with despair every time their captor turns on him in rage. He'd give anything to keep Kellin safe, but he just isn't strong enough to run... He's afraid. So much could go wrong if they're caught.
But they have to try. If they don't, one (if not both) of them will be dead by winter. Kellin is certain he can escape on his own, but he can't leave Vic behind to suffer. He loves him too much. He loves him more than anything...
