When Evangeline saw Walter hurt, the ache that hit her heart was like a sucker punch-unexpected and
impossible to shake off.
She questioned herself, was she really nagging for Walter's sake?
However, then, she locked eyes with Walter's, which were deep pools of smoldering anger.
"Evangeline, is there anything else you're dying to tell me?" asked Walter, disbelief etched across his face.
He could not wrap his head around it. She was so gentle when she touched his face, so caring in every little thing
she did for him. So why did her words sting like there was not a shred of softness in them? "Huh?" Evangeline
blinked, her hand freezing mid-wipe. "Is there supposed to be something else?"

Evangeline's lips twitched, but before she could say anything. Minnie grabbed the towel and started wiping
Walter's hand as if it was the most natural thing in the world. Evangeline stayed silent, watching the emotionless
Walter, even as the air crackled with tension between Minnie and her.
His indifference was more cutting than any words, deepening Evangeline's sorrow. She made a silent vow to
herself-if she bothered with Walter again, she would be less than human.
As if on cue, Minnie twisted the knife, pouting, "Look at our Walter, completely clueless about how to treat a lady.
At the end of the day, we women get each other, don't we, Evangeline?"
While they were talking, Minnie cleaned Walter's hands until they were spotless. Her eyes sparkled with too
much pride, making them look deeper and more meaningful. The slight upturn of her lips made her delight even
more obvious.
In that room, where there was no actual smoke or gunfire but the tension was thicker than on any battlefield,
Minnie's behavior was a clear challenge to Evangeline!
However, Evangeline was not scared of a challenge.
