I wouldn't want you to think otherwise. I went to a lot of trouble to get that story over a two year period of my life." She knew it had cost him. It was still costing him because he had allowed his work to slip through his fingers. And you surrendered it," she said. "Why? You could have won. Grandfather would have given you what you watned to keep you from publishing the story. He would have made Townsend cooperate." Rafe looked off in the distance... If I had, Eden, I would have lost more than Hanalei. I weighed everything in a balance and decided there was something I wanted even more.””
