Bathed in the soft glow of the lights, Minnie stood by the cruise ship’s railing, pulled out the phone, and dialed a number. A stranger’s voice answered. 

“Hello, who are you looking for?” 

Lydia, ever cautious since her hospital escape, never took calls from unknown numbers. 

Minnie was aware of that and did not bother with pleasantries. “It’s Minnie. Put Mrs. Lydia on the phone, quick.” 

Lydia’s voice came through shortly after. “Julia, you know I avoid unknown calls. Why’d you dial me with a strange number?” 

“There’s been a bit of trouble, and it’s too much to explain right now.” 

Minnie rolled her eyes at the thought of drudging through a mess of details. “Mom, cut to the chase. You said last time that everything was set, we just needed to find that woman. Was that for real? 

Lydia could not hide the smugness in her voice as she replied, “Absolutely. The moment Evangeline, that little snake, lands in my grasp, she’s done for!” 

“Perfect!” That was exactly what Minnie was waiting to hear. “I’ll text you the location. Get ready fast. And Mom, plans have changed. I’m not after her kid anymore, I want… her life!” 

With a flick of her wrist, Minnie tossed her phone into the endless sea, watching it make a tiny splash before disappearing. 

Evangeline was pregnant and not up for much. A few dances with Walter and she was beat. Post–dinner, they naturally headed back to the room Walter had set up just for her. 

They lay side by side on the big bed, both staring up at the stars as if they had planned it. 

The room was free of any romantic vibes. There was none of the fiery passion they would expect from a couple who had been apart for ages. It was more like an old married couple, holding hands and counting stars, fighting to keep their eyes open just to keep the conversation going. 

“Feeling sleepy?” 

Walter noticed the silence beside him and turned his attention to Evangeline. He sat up, flicked on the night light, and saw her eyes gently closed, breathing steady. She was out like a light. 

She must have been dreaming something sweet because even in her sleep, her lips were curled into a 

smile. 

Adorable. 

Walter’s hand moved as if it had a mind of its own, tenderly caressing her soft cheek in a moment of uncontrollable affection. 

Evangeline slept peacefully, her cuteness rivaling that of an angel misplaced on earth.
