Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis eyes had shown a tinge of regret, and the urge to keep going with Evangeline had disappeared as soon as he saw who was calling.
With Evangeline looking on, worried, Hank had taken the call. The more the person on the other end had talked, the tighter Hank's frown had become.
Hank ended the call, and Evangeline noticed a sheen of sweat on his brow-a rare sight. He was always so cool and collected, like a prince out of a storybook "What's up?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.
