Chapter 245
There was a deeper message in Alex’s words, a playful sort of sadness woven through them.
Evangeline, thinking about all the events Alex’d been through, felt her heart go out to him big time.
“I guess you’re right.”
Had Alex not stayed away all these years for the very same reasons?
She was in the same boat, her heart in pieces thanks to Walter. How could she just forget the things that had nearly broken her, just because of a little warmth?
Sure, there might be some super forgiving folks out there, but she and Alex? Not a chance.
“But hey, dinner’s about to hit the table. Aren’t you starving?”
Her face broke into a beaming smile.
Years had passed, and Evangeline had become Alex’s ray of sunshine.
The gloomier Alex got, the brighter she shone, like her own little sun.
Their moods bounced off each other, and that was how they made things better, bit by bit.
Alex shook his head, and when he turned to look at her, his voice was slow and deliberate, “Evie, what about that job at Avalon University’s music department? Have you given it any thought?”
The real reason he had shown up at the family dinner was to get Evangeline to say yes to the job.
Avalon University’s music department was in dire need of someone with Evangeline’s spark and talent to liven things up.
A wave of guilt washed over Evangeline!
