Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 306

Evangeline still couldn't get in touch with Glenn. The only thing she could do was send him a text, telling him to be safe. Glenn was stubborn; once he made up his mind, nothing anyone said could change it. If he had chosen to buy them some time, she had to make the most of it.

But the idea that he was being held up by Victor was still just a theory.

After some thought, Evangeline tried calling Finn. Strangely, he didn't pick up either.

She didn't dwell on it, putting her phone away and heading back to her apartment complex. Just as she parked her car and started walking toward the building, she saw him.

Finn was standing there, his head bowed as he stared intently at his phone.

She raised her hand to greet him, but seeing how focused he was, she swallowed her words. Tiptoeing, she approached him from behind. But when she was still several feet away, his lazy voice drifted toward her.

"You're back."

He casually slipped his phone into his pocket and turned to face her with a smile. But there was a chilly edge to it, something almost sharp.

Evangeline thought he might be annoyed that she'd hung up on him earlier. She gave a sheepish "Mm-hmm."

"Were you at the hospital?" he asked.

She frowned in confusion. "How did you know?" Then it dawned on her. News of Mrs. Fawkes's illness must have gotten out. Finn knew about her relationship with the old woman, so it wasn't a stretch for him to guess she'd paid a visit.

She expected him to ask about Mrs. Fawkes's condition, but instead, he closed the distance between them and leaned in slightly. The sudden proximity made Evangeline stiffen, a faint heat rising to her cheeks. She instinctively tried to step back, but Finn, anticipating her move, wrapped an arm around her waist. The warmth of his hand seeped through the thin fabric of her shirt. With a gentle tug, he pulled her off-balance and into his chest.
