There was a brief pause on the line, then the answer came. "No trouble. They just aren't a thing anymore. "They aren't a thing anymore..."

By the time it sank in for Minnie, all she heard was the dial tone echoing in her ear.

Evangeline's ties with Walter were history. Was it not her time to shine?

At the Emerald of the Highlands villa, Evangeline lounged on the couch, her ears twitching

She rubbed her achy, puffy nose and grumbled, "I bet someone's bad-mouthing me. It's not Walter, is it?"

His name popped out before she could stop it, giving her a jolt as it echoed in her ears.

Had she not sworn off anything to do with Walter? Why was his name still on the tip of her tongue?

'Get it together, Evangeline,' she chided herself.

With her thoughts a jumbled mess, she could not focus on the magazine anymore. She tossed it aside. and munched on the fruit Julieta had sliced up. Keeping stress-free and rested was key during pregnancy.

That was why Evangeline had smartly hired a nurse to look after her, making sure she ate right and lived comfortably.

Julieta Lewis, a spry woman in her fifties with three kids under her belt, knew all about taking care of expectant moms.

Evangeline trusted her, always addressing her with a respectful 'Mrs. Lewis"

Just then, the doorbell chimed.

Julieta scurried to answer it and found a man in a wheelchair outside, greeting him with a smile. "Sir, who might you be looking for?"

Alex returned the smile, casually spinning the wheel of his chair, and said with confidence, "I'm a friend of Evangeline's."

Julieta's eyes lit up with recognition. "You're Mr. Alex Gordon, aren't you? The lady said that you can come In when you arrive."

She noticed Alex pushing his wheelchair, looking a bit awkward, and quickly wiped her hands on her

apron..

"Hey there, need a hand?"

Alex shook his head with a smile. "I'm good, thanks."

With that, Alex rolled in. Julieta followed respectfully. She did not forget to call out to Evangeline, who was lounging on a deck chair, basking in the sun and snacking on fruit, "Miss, Mr. Alex Gordon's here!" Evangeline leaped up, slid into her slippers, and made a beeline for the stairs!

She was so quick she almost bumped into Alex.

He chuckled. "Easy there! You're going to be a mom soon. You have to be careful, or what if you bump and hurt the little one?"

Evangeline's face turned red with a delayed realization, and she gave an embarrassed giggle. "I just got so excited seeing you! I forgot I can't zip around like I used to."

Alex, comfortably in his chair, did not bother with formalities, and Evangeline flopped onto the couch.

"Alex, aren't you supposed to be in class? How'd you get here so fast?"

She was sure it was Tuesday.

A shadow flickered in Alex's eyes, but he masked it with a playful tone, "Guess what? No classes for me today."

He did have classes all day, but the moment he got Evangeline's message, he could not think of anything else and decided to skip. It helped that he was well-regarded at school, so the head gave him the day off without trouble. "I guess I'm just super lucky!" Evangeline smiled playfully.
