He was afraid that she had already seen that it was the most precious thing in the world to him. He looked away quickly, down at the dead face of Oonagh. He reached out a hand and closed her eyes, not out of pity, just a sense of decency.
“The sins of the wolf have come home,” he said quietly. “Corruption, deceit, and last of all, betrayal.”
