“Grandpa, what are you doing here?”
175*
He had just turned down Trey’s Invitation to come bore that aftemoon How on earth did Trey find him so quickly?
Minnie, caught in the middle of the grandpa grandson howdown, finally grasped the gornity of the situation. She let out a shriek and dove under the covers, trying to hide her semi exposed state
However, it was too late.
Evangeline, who had arrived a bit late to the scene, had already caught an eye through the gap between Thomas and Trey.
“Grandpa, you…”
She had watched Trey stagger out of the house, worged he was too frail, and had followed him upstairs. She was about to voice her concern when the scene in front of her struck her speechless.
Trey spun as if he had been zapped, his face going from red–hot to ghostly pale at the sight of Evangeline.
Caught completely off guard, he echoed Walter’s question.
“Evie, what brings you here?”
Evangeline gave a nervous laugh. “I saw you heading out and got worried about you, so I came after you
Her fingers quivered as she pointed toward the house. “Looks like I picked the wrong time to show up. 11 just go now!”
Evangeline was ready to bolt, but Walter was on her heels in a flash.
“Wait a second!”
He did not even notice that Minnie had purposely wrinkled his clothes. Driven by instinct, he caught up with Evangeline and grabbed her wrist tightly.
“Evangeline, aren’t you going to say anything?”
Seeing her husband in bed with another woman, all cozy and close… Should that not make Evangeline
mad?
He was ready to say sorry, to make things right with Evangeline, but if she did not react at all, who was he supposed to apologize to?
“Am I supposed to say something? That’s your reaction?”
Evangeline sounded unsure.
Honestly, seeing Walter with someone else was a punch to the gut. However, she had steeled herself for that moment ever since she decided to let Walter go.
She was f finally facing it, and the scene before her was not as shattering as she had feared.
“Walter, I’ve never been through anything like this. Maybe you can show me, what am I supposed to feel?”
