Hoshor Plains brings me 'round again

Whatever argument he has ends locked on his tongue. What would he have her do? Give Winterbourne the option, make him feel wanted, just as the others must—if Dawn could so much as give him the chance he deserves, then maybe things would be alright.

There is a flicker of doubt—of whether he made the wound between family members worse than it already is, and part of Eve desires to flee the scene in his own anguish. Yet he refuses to leave Winterbourne, not again.
