She has lost hope and welcomes death. Callen is weary of being under his father's controlling thumb. Da returns home and informs Callen that he'd arranged his marriage to some stranger.

But then he meets Davina, not only is she a vision, but with what could be her dying breath, she calls God's blessings down on him and releases Callen from his father's agreement to wed. Who wouldn't fight for a love like that? Now he has to make sure she lives and prove his love.
