The bar boasted a stunning, spacious patio that offered sweeping views of Zion’s half-panoramic
beauty.
Lambert ordered a glass of wine, slipped on his sunglasses, and lounged on a couch to take in the
scenery.
Evelyn sauntered over, placing the drink on the table in front of Lambert, and asked, “Hey, haven’t seen
you
around with Estelle the past couple of days. What’s up?”
“Take a seat, Evelyn. We need to chat,” Lambert said with a serious tone.
Sensing the urgency, Evelyn sat across from him and asked, “What’s going on?”

Evelyn frowned, “Yeah, I did. But he’s clammed up. Won’t talk. I asked him to come back with me, and

hope,” Lambert murmured.
Estelle had saved Evelyn twice, and now that she was in danger, Evelyn would do whatever it took.
