You could have told him to leave her with me... it isn't as if I'd hurt her on purpose. And I raised her for a month before I left, it isn't as if I don't know how to handle her.

[Granted, Letha had been sick for most of that month and Winter had been cared for partly by nurses and partly by Lola, but that's not the point.]

I know it's selfish to want Ivar back, but it's my right to have Winter back. She's mine.
