Wilfred's brown eyes met Scarlett's gaze. Seeing the worry and fear in her eyes, he pulled his hand away from hers. "You don't need to be involved in this."

Scarlett's eyes reddened, and she said hysterically, "Is it worth it? Are you insane? We've fought so hard to stay alive, and now you want to throw your life away for someone else.
