Evangeline halted, a storm brewing in her mind. She stood frozen in place.
Walter caught the change in her stance and strode over, his grip firm as he yanked her into the car without a word.
The ride was eerily quiet.
Inside, Evangeline’s anger simmered, ready to boil over.
Walter was seething too, unable to stomach the thought of Evangeline wanting to kiss another man right in front of him. He gave her the silent treatment.
They arrived at Crystal Waters House.
Walter did not bother with manners, practically dragging Evangeline from the car and into the house.
The door slammed shut behind them, and Walter’s voice cut through the silence, sharp as a knife. “Evangeline, I can’t stand that Hank guy. I’m warning you—stay away from him!”
He had disliked Hank from the moment he heard they were childhood friends. After seeing Evangeline choose Hank’s kiss over his own, Walter wanted nothing more than to make that thorn in his side vanish.
Evangeline, shrouded in darkness, just laughed. It was a chilling, mocking sound.
*Stay away from Hank?” Her voice was soft but laced with ice. “And who are you to me, Walter? Why should I listen to you?”
Evangeline knew every inch of Crystal Waters House, so well that she could find the light switch in pitch blackness without missing a beat.
In a flash, the living room burst into light, revealing Walter’s dark, brooding face in Evangeline’s view.
His looks were still drop–dead gorgeous, his physique still the kind that could make anyone’s mouth water, and he was still the guy who haunted Evangeline’s dreams.
Evangeline did not even pause to look at him this time.
