As Evangeline watched him, a wave of pity for her past self washed over her. For years, she had been ostracized and mocked, and Soren had never lifted a finger. Now, before he was even married to Poppy, he was already clearing the path for her.
But he had misunderstood. She had said the *relationship* was over. Her plan for revenge, for her child, was just beginning.
She didn't say this, of course. Seeing that he wouldn't stop her again, she turned and walked away without a second glance.
Finn was pulling the car up to the curb as she exited the building. She got into the passenger seat. He took one look at her face and knew.
"Soren found you, didn't he?"
She nodded. "How did you know?"
Finn chuckled. "The way he was looking at you in the store. I had a feeling he'd find a way to talk to you alone."
"Then why…" Evangeline started, but trailed off.
Finn read her mind. "Why didn't I warn you? Because it wouldn't have mattered. A man like him, once he decides to do something, he'll do it. There's no point in hiding. Better to just get it over with."
Besides, why would he want to stop Soren from digging his own grave? He was enjoying the show. He was practically ready to set off fireworks.
But he didn't tell her that.
