*Grandpa Cole must be worried sick by now..."
Evangeline had been away from hfor so long that she could not help but think that Cole must be beside
himself with worry.
Holden gave her shoulder a reassuring pat. "Relax, Evie. Yale and | had Informed him you were safe as soon as

desperately needed.
Behind the wheel, Yale caught a glimpse of his younger brother in the rearview mirror-annoyed, downcast, yet
looking at him with eyes full of hope. "Look, Evie," Yale said, his voice as steady as if he were discussing the
weather instead of her personal , "you should go see your grandpa." "Why?" Evangeline blurted, her
surprise unmasked.
Yale was smart enough to read her mind. Why would he suggest something like that?
Yale's sigh was trapped in his throat, his eyes never leaving the road ahead, but a shadow of doubt flickered in
his dark gaze.
