Evangeline had it in her head that Minnie was the new girlfriend Alex had brought home. However, it was
obvious that Minnie only had eyes for Walter, and Alex was out of the picture.
When Evangeline shared her hunch, Alex just wrinkled his brow and said, "Evie, you're way off base! Don't you
know the awesnews? Why would you think it's slovey-dovey soap opera stuff?"
Alex's blunt way of putting things made Evangeline's mouth twitch. She could not remember when she
had first noticed that side of him.
"So, you got a raise then?" She figured if romance was the wrong track, work had to be a safe bet, right? Alex let
out a deep sigh, looking frustrated. "Letgive you a clue!"
His hand, which had been resting on the wheelchair's armrest, shifted gently onto his legs.
That could only mean...
Evangeline's mind raced, and she pointed at Alex's legs, her voice tinged with disbelief, "Your legs..."
As she saw a shimmer in his eyes, she asked, still not quite believing, "Alex, you're not joking, are you?"

to the tests?"
Evangeline's eyes sparkled with excitement. "So, you're saying that if you keep up with the treatments, your legs
will get better?"
She thought of Alex as one of her closest friends, and the thought that his legs could be healed made her more
ecstatic than anyone else could imagine.
"Yeah, that's exactly it! | just got the news from my doctor and bolted here to tell you first!"
"This is epic news!" Evangeline beamed, her hand thoughtfully tapping her chin. "How should we celebrate?
Wait, scratch that, we've got to tell Mr. Gordon right away!"\
Trey was the patriarch of the Gordon family, and in her heart-to-heart with him, Evangeline could always sense
his deep worry for Alex's condition.
As she reached for her phone to dial Trey's number, Alex cut in, "Hold up."
Evangeline stopped mid-dial, noticing for the first tthat Alex's earlier joy had vanished, leaving behind a
frown and a ghostly pallor.
"Evie, let's not bother Grandpa with this little thing," he said, his voice laced with a hesitation he did not
