   Summary

   "Run. Jackson's just over that ridge. Take Dylan and run. I'll keep them back - and then I'll be right behind you."

   A little over two years ago, your husband got you to within sight of Jackson and told you to run to safety - told you he'd be right behind you. Only he disappeared, presumed dead. Since then you've grown a life for yourself and your son within Jackson's walls, established a business, made friends and found yourself slowly falling in love with the man you've grown close to.

   But then your husband re-appears, ravaged by the hell he's endured to get back to you - and suddenly you have choices to make.
