Evangeline could not pinpoint when it started, but her interactions with Walter had grown increasingly bizarre, so much so that she felt better off far away from him. 

She had no desire to exchange words with him. 

“Let’s just eat, okay?” Evangeline made a show of eagerly reaching for her fork, not bothering to wait for Walter’s cue, and helped herself to a dish, 

Walter felt a sting at being cut off, but seeing Evangeline, who had just been claiming she was not hungry, diving into her meal, he did not want to spoil her newfound appetite. With that, he too started eating. 

The tuna steak was the Secret Recipe Kitchen’s claim to fame, and Walter’s go–to dish every time he 

visited. 

Evangeline was only trying to dodge a conversation with Walter, so she grabbed a fork and poked at the restaurant’s famous dish without thinking. As she brought a piece of fish to her lips, a pungent fishy scent hit her nose. A wave of nausea threatened to overwhelm her, but she fought it back with effort 

She figured it was just because she had not had fish in a while. Bracing herself, she popped the fish into her mouth. It was tender and flavorful, truly a dish to remember. However… 

“Ugh…” 

The queasiness won out, and Evangeline could not hold back. She threw up, and with nothing in her stomach, she was left with painful dry heaves. Her face, already pale, turned a shade paler after the ordeal. 

Walter dropped his silverware and rushed to her side, patting her back gently. Once she seemed slightly better, he quickly got her a glass of water. 

“Feeling any better?” 

After rinsing the lingering fishy taste from her mouth with the water, Evangeline felt somewhat relieved. 

“Maybe it’s just my messed–up sleep schedule lately, or my stomach’s not doing great. Don’t mind me, Just go back to your meal.” 

She was not worried about Walter, it was their closeness that bothered her. It was so close that it brought back bad memories, making her skin crawl. 

Walter was thinking about taking Evangeline to the hospital when a sweet, familiar female voice reached 

them. 

Is Mr. Walter Gordon here too? Which room is he in? We’re great friends, and it’s always more fun to eat together, isn’t it?” 

The moment Evangeline heard those footsteps, she recalled a face as beautiful as an angel’s–Minnie’s face. 

No one else came to mind. 

Down the hall, the footsteps edged closer, and Evangeline could just make out the sound of wheels rolling across the floor.
