After Lugh's kidnapping, Saba struggles to make sense of this eminently confusing series of events. On the one hand, she empathizes with Lugh's rational disposition, believing that there's no way Pa could have actually predicted what happened. But still...he did, didn't he?

This is the one thing Saba can't explain: how did Pa know that there would be men coming for Lugh? No matter how much her rational mind wants to toss it aside as nonsense, she just can't shake this eerily accurate prediction.

Maybe this is what Lugh meant when he said that love makes you "weak." Do you agree with him? Based on just the events in the book, we're not sure if Lugh is right. There are plenty of examples of love making Saba strong, for example.
