"No, I'll... I won't tell anyone," I reply, though I can't deny that I feel a little more wary suddenly. Thomas has always seemed quiet and gentle and unassuming. Silly, I know, to presume so much based on only a few pleasant conversations.

To think he's actually died and, by the sound of it, really horrifically. I think it says a lot about him that he still tried to save the woman he loves, even after death. I have the feeling he doesn't see it that way, though.

"She's probably at least a little grateful, isn't she?" I ask instead, still watching him carefully. "I mean, I think I would be."
