Walter’s mood soured as the head bodyguard brushed past him. The guy was a thorn in his side, and Waher vowed to make him vanish from Avalon City for good
The drama in the restroom wrapped up, and the bodyguard, Matthew, and the rest of the men knew it was time to clear out
Evangeline, totally spent from the ordeal, slumped against the cubicle wall, panting hard. “Walter is the – worst!” she fumed.
She felt like she could explode with frustration because of him,
Meanwhile, Roslyn, who had just snapped out of her daze, blurted out without thinking. “Evie, about the
movie
“Forget it, Roslyn, I’m heading home.”
The last thing she wanted was to sit through a movie
Evangeline figured it just was not her day. She had not checked the horoscope before leaving home. which must have been why she kept bumping into Walter, the walking disaster
“Okay, I’ll walk you home.” Roslyn understood where Evangeline was coming from. She had suggested the movie just to keep Evangeline out a bit longer, to help her chill out
However, if Evangeline needed some alone time, Roslyn, being the best friend she was, would not push it. “Oh, should we let Matthew know? He was hoping you’d help him with some song lyrics!”
Roslyn never thought Matthew would fall for Evangeline so fast.
She had got to follow through when she helped someone. Knowing what Matthew needed, she felt she should have passed on the message.
Evangeline paused to think
Matthew had had her back in that mess earlier, which was helpful.
Walter was the type to hold a grudge. If he had made good on his threats and had gone after Matthew because she had helped with the lyrics, would not that have put Matthew in the line of fire?
