Forgiveness was Eva's choice to not spend her life being a victim. In that choice, she took control of the rest of her life. she could not change what had happened to her, but she could make the choice not allow it to control the rest of her life...and to move on. If she had chosen to dedicated her life to having him pay for his actions, she would have then dedicated her life to him as a victim.
