Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 318

Panic seized her for a second, but she quickly recovered, her fingers fumbling for the ring's trigger. Before she could activate it, her attacker spun her around and pinned her against the wall.

It was Soren.

He was breathing heavily, his hands braced on the wall on either side of her. His eyes were bloodshot. It was the second time she had ever seen him like this. The first was years ago when they were trapped in a broken elevator. The lights had gone out, and in the pitch black, his claustrophobia had taken over. He had been a tense, terrified wreck. She had done everything she could to calm him until help arrived. He had looked just like this then: afraid, helpless, and vulnerable.

The memory made her hesitate.

"Evangeline, what do you want from me?" Soren finally burst out, his voice strained. "You're the one who refused to get back together, and now you're the one hurting Poppy out of jealousy."

So that was it. He was here to defend Poppy. She had thought for a moment he had changed, but he had just chosen to confront her in private.

A bitter laugh escaped her. "I'm not jealous. Soren, you really think too highly of yourself. Who you're with, who you marry—it means nothing to me."

"Then explain Poppy's arm," he shot back. "You expect me to believe you didn't do that?" He had seen it all in the store but had inexplicably chosen not to make a scene.
