Autumn Hawke turned even redder, and Bethany found herself amused that her big sister, the woman who could face ogres without flinching, could be so undone by one man. “You mean the incredibly good-looking, selfless healer with the free clinic? The one who devotes himself to helping penniless refugees? Yeah, I noticed him. So what?”
“So...what are you going to do?”
“I’ll tell you what. I’m going to help him free his friend from the Templars. Then I’m going to get those maps. And then we’re going into the Deep Roads on that expedition, and that will be the end of it

Hawke replayed the conversation in her head as she walked home.
I was wondering--is it true that Karl was your lover?
....Yes. Yes, it’s true.
Why didn’t you tell me? If I had known...
I’m sorry. I wanted to tell you myself. It’s just...I was afraid...He was afraid that she would be humiliated at having thrown herself at a man who wasn’t interested in women. She understood
