Back in her room, on the big, familiar bed, Evangeline-fresh from a bath and feeling utterly drained- dragged her damp hair and flopped down onto the sofa.

The sting from earlier had lessened after cleaning up, yet it still throbbed a little.

None of that seemed to matter at this moment, however.

The most crucial item on her list was... The birth control pills.

Evangeline rummaged through her bag with a jolt of urgency.

The last time she visited the clinic, worried that a single pack of pills might not cut it, she got two.

Looking back, she patted herself on the back for that smart move. Otherwise, she would be scrambling to the store for it.

As she pulled out the pillbox, her eyes caught sight of a familiar tube.

She perked up, her brow knitting in puzzlement

Was this not the cream Walter had given her, meant for her hurt sensitive spots?

Twisting off the cap, she realized it was still sealed.

She had no interest in owing Walter any favors, not even the smallest one. Nonetheless, the thought of another trip to the pharmacy was just too much. Heaving a deep sigh, Evangeline broke the seal, clenched her teeth, and smeared on the cream.

The cool relief was instant, soothing her wound.

Tucked under her blanket, Evangeline felt her body unwind, but her eyes stayed fixed on the birth control pills

Walter's voice haunted her, stirring something inside her.

Driven by her grandpa's failing health, she was desperate to give him the joy of a great-grandson.

Forget everyone else. Walter alone would be a handful, not to mention Trey, who was just as keen on welcoming a new generation as Cole was Evangeline set the pills aside, a plan forming in her mind.

It was Roslyn, who had an uncanny knack for timing.

"Evie, I'm off tomorrow. How about a movie night?" Roslyn's voice came through, tinged with a playful hint.

She quickly added, "It's a midnight showing. Think of all the eye candy, handsome guys and gorgeous. girls everywhere!"

Evangeline could not help but roll her eyes. "As if any of the good-looking ones at a midnight screening aren't already taken. What's the fun for us singletons?"

Her marriage to Walter was a sham, hanging by a thread that was not much thicker than a piece of paper- the divorce papers, to be exact.

Roslyn laughed, a bit slow on the uptake. "Oh, right. But it's the premiere of a hot new movie, tickets are like o

gold dust! Come on, Evie, say you'll come?"

Evangeline had a soft spot for Roslyn's pleading tone, no matter how much she tried to resist. "Fine, fine, I'm in," she conceded. "But no makeup, okay?"
