![]() Their relationship really strengthens, however, as they are tested over and over again. ![]() Gideon pushes Eva to trudge past her fears and commit to their future, while Eva pushes Gideon to let go of the guilt that he feels for the part he thinks he played in his abuse. What I mean by the phrase is that in their individual brokenness, they better understand each other and are therefore ideally suited to be exactly what the other needs.

Tolerate it for me, if you won’t do it for yourself.”Ī couple things struck me about their relationship in this book… one, how much Gideon is evolving ( note action verb – as in he’s still got a way to go).
