Elijah shook his head. "Calm yourself, Ben. I have every right to say his name. Noah seemed like he loved Alice and was just scared, that's why he was rude to her. And he was honestly just foolish and didn't know he could have been the father. He wanted a chance to make it up to her and have you accept him. Kids do foolish things and can get scared. You've seen it before in your children. That's why they ran away from home, that's why .. some people make bigger mistakes that could make them get killed. "He wouldn't mention Simon though he fit the situation.

"You need to forgive and let them move on or they find themselves in bigger situations and panic more."

He apologized again to Tobias, "It is nothing against you, truly. You seem kind, it is the distance and .. the suddenness. "

He pointed at Ben as he spoke. "What if she gets married and she is unhappy. Just because she is so far from home and her family. She could get upset and try to run away to go home for just a little while and get lost in the moors. What then? I think you need to consider her feelings more."
