The last thing Gideon wants is to return to the outside world, the one in which his mistake cost lives. But if he doesn't get Aimee to the authorities, he might be responsible for even more deaths. What neither of them expects is to fall for each other in such a short amount of time, but there's no arguing with the truth.
