Her voice was soft and gentle, but it carried no real warth

Trey watched Evangeline walk away and quickly gave his grandson a reassuring were “Water, why see you just standing there? Evie’s already left. Why didn’t you walk her over
Walter, nursing a sore back, was slow to move. He had just managed to catch up with Evangene where her phone started to ring
Evangeline was surprised to get a call at that hour. She checked her phone and saw hers are had been ages since they had last spoken, so she quickly accepted the call
“Alex? What’s up? How come you’re calling me out of the blue?
She had no idea that Walter, watching her then, was completely taken aback
She looked nothing like the Evangeline he knew. Her face was not tense, and her smile was not distant. Instead, her gaze seemed soft, her expression warm
To Walter, Evangeline was usually like a hermit, untouched by worldly matters, but on the phone with Aler she was alive with emotion!
The difference was staggering and Walter could not handle it.

“Let’s catch up tomorrow afternoon at Rosewood House then!
“I can’t have coffee, obviously, but milk is fine! Did you forget? Rosewood House isn’t just about coffee, they’ve got all those yummy pastries too. I used to worry about gaining weight and hardly ever indulged but those days are over, hahaha!
