The thought jolted Evangeline, and she shook her head as if to clear it from a shock.
She must have been losing it, seeing Walter’s face in every crowd.
Roslyn had already caught the troubled look on Evangeline’s face, however
With the movie’s soundtrack humming in the background, Roslyn playfully scolded. “Spill it, who did you dash off with at the Whiskey Barrel Pub that night? Leaving me by myself in the club, you almost killed me with worry”
Evangeline felt her irritation flare up at the memory. “What about you? I left, and you did not even bother to look for me?′′
If Roslyn had just looked for her that night, Evangeline was sure she could have avoided Walter’s clutches and the injuries that followed
“..” Roslyn’s lips turned down in a pout a hint of hurt in her voice, I had too much to drink that night. When the lights went out. I just crashed My agent had to drag me out! I called you the moment I woke up, and your assistant told me you were together, so 1 stopped worrying.”
Okay, then
The anger in Evangeline’s heart melted away as quickly as it had come
Even so, Roslyn pressed or “You seem really upset Did something happen that night? Did I mess up?” Faced with such concem Evangeline softened ‘It’s nothing just my no good ex swooping in to play the hero when he’s the last thing I needed”
When they tied the knot they were both on guard During the divorce’s cool–down period, she ended up losing more than she bargained for both her heart and her peace of mind
Evangeline was not in the mood for a heart–to-heart with Roslyn, so when she caught a glimpse of Roslyn’s curious look, she quickly gestured toward the screen, “Look, the movie’s starting?”
