The cafe was a snug haven, and Alex's smile was just as warm, shining like he was soaking up the first rays of
spring.
"Evie, it's been ages."
"Yeah, it feels like forever since we last hung out."
Evangeline had not been feeling herself lately, skipping university for quite a stretch.
"Hey Alex, is it okay if | keep missing school?"
"You're not exactly on the faculty roster, Evie. Just drop in and dazzle them with a guest lecture now and then.
It's all good for the school's rep." Evangeline's worries melted away as Alex spoke with such an easygoing tone.
"I'm not too fussed, just as long as the school isn't giving you grief."
The Foster family did not fuss over the teaching salary, but Evangeline could not forget that it was Alex who had

Affection swirled in his eyes, softening his usually sharp gaze into something warm and gentle.
As Evangeline polished off her snack, Alex got to the heart of the matter. "Evie, you've got a little one on the
way. It's not just about you now. Have you given any thought to what comes next?"
The idea of 'what comes next' was vast and uncertain, but Alex had his sights set on just one thing.
The rocky marriage of Evangeline and Walter.
