Years later, Grant Wilkinson, he too fell into my hands. The ex-Army Ranger was badly disfigured and saw himself as a monster. Isolated by secrets, solitary and self-contained, his colleagues affectionately named him ‘Frosty.’ Yet, how should one behave when besieged by a lifetime of confusion and guilt?

Could the mouse and the monster heal each other?

When push comes to shove, would Bree end up running only to be killed? Or would she sacrifice herself for love?
