Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 282

Her thoughts drifted to Victor Lockridge.

The private investigator she'd hired had tracked Theresa Carlisle to a location not far from where the Carlisles had found Theresa's earring. Victor was already on his way there, and Glenn hadn't returned yet. It wouldn't be long before they crossed paths.

Could Victor be using her to threaten Glenn? After all, their business partnership was public knowledge.

Before she could dwell on it, her phone rang again. This time, it was Finn Lockridge.

She answered, "What is it?"

"You sound so cold," Finn said, his voice laced with mock heartbreak. "You're hurting my feelings."

Evangeline paused. "...Am I?"

"Is that any way to talk to your boyfriend?" he chided playfully. "Shouldn't your first words be something like, ‘I miss you'?"

Evangeline considered this and fell silent. She'd never really dated anyone. She'd had a crush on Soren, but they never had the chance to be a real couple before they were pushed into a loveless marriage. Soren had always been cold and dismissive, so she had no idea what a normal relationship was supposed to feel like. She and Finn hadn't gotten together for love, either, but now that they were a couple, she was willing to play the part if that's what he wanted.

"I…" Evangeline tried to form the words, but her face grew hot. They felt impossible to say. Finally, she gave up and tossed the challenge back at him. "You didn't say you missed me, either."

Finn chuckled softly, as if he knew exactly what she was thinking. "Evangeline, I don't just miss you. I love you. I think about you every second of every day."
