DG pulled her hair over one shoulder and braided it as she sat on the swing in the gazebo. Cain leaned against one of the pillars and watched. Absent-mindedly, he played with his wedding ring and put it in his pocket. His hand felt like it was burning.
"Ow!"
"What is it?"
"I don't know, my hand feels like it's burning." DG stopped braiding her hair and stood, walking to him.
"Let me see it." She took his hand and looked at is both sides. She couldn't see anything wrong with it, but she closed her eyes and concentrated on healing his hand. "Better?"
The whole time he had been watching her intently. When she spoke, it barely registered.
"Yeah… thanks." DG nodded and sat back down on the swing, this time facing away from Cain. That's when she blushed. Her stomach did back flips. He had taken his ring off. She finished braiding her hair and looked out over the lake where all of this had started.
Cain just stared at the back of her head.

Cain and DG came in from their walk and walked back to her room hand-in-hand. They passed The Queen and Ahamo in the hallway, and they too noticed a change in DG and Cain. When the two got back to DG's room, Raw and Az were still there.
"Deej, we've been thinking, and Raw thinks he can figure out why you changed so much. Would you be up for it?" Az asked kindly, making note of the way DG clung to Cain.
"Where's Zero?"
"In the infirmary until he can be put up for evaluation."
"Alright. I'm up for anything that'll explain what's been going on." DG and Cain both sat on the couch and DG still gripped Cain's hand.
"DG must let go Cain's hand so Raw can read mind…" DG forgot how tightly she was holding Cain's hand and she quickly let go. Raw placed his hands on DG's head and she closed her eyes as her mind raced. After a few minutes, Raw let go.
"Well?" Cain asked.
"DG not raped. DG saved."
"What are you talking about, you said you healed her…"
"No. DG saved by Glinda."
