Darerca didn't know if George was aware she had actually gone to Dublin to save George first and deal with Padraig second. "Columba sent me your email about Padraig once it got to him. I emailed Padraig and when he replied I knew immediately something was wrong." She ran her fingers through her hair before continuing.
"He said you were with him. He wouldn't talk to me at all if he were right in the head, let alone tell me where you were. I knew he was probably doing something terrible to you. I couldn't just let that go. Especially if there's a way to bring him back."
She chewed on her lip and hoped to God there was a way. "I want to believe there is, but he will hate himself for what he did."
