He let Leyla have her talk, but it was getting dark and he was worried Eva may be cold. He had stayed just out of earshot to let her have her peace and yet now she was putting her hands on Eva and kissing her? Many dark thoughts ran through his mind.
The thought of anyone placing their hands on Eva in such a way tore at the insecurity that Eva may leave him. Even now, after tying her in every way he could to him, he still felt as if she would slip through his fingers and that he would be powerless to stop her.

Fueled her resolve to save their children. If Eva said she wanted to leave, there was nothing he could do to stop her.
