Tammy wipes tears from her own eyes, "I wanted you to know I will support you with whatever choice you make.  I helped you escape, and I will stand by that.  But by letting you go, you will not be escaping.  My dad conducted a legal transaction, and if you go home ...well, that's the first place he will go to look for you.  If you simply run away and not go home, you will live in torment ...always wondering where you have to escape to next, and in constant danger of the kind of people you had to contend with at the marketplace.  The only true escape is in going to the King."
