Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 321

The moment she stepped out of the car, a damp, salty breeze rushed to meet her, carrying the distinct tang of the sea.

Beneath the dark sky, the sea and horizon merged into a faint, distant line. From afar, it looked as if shimmering lights were scattered across the water's surface, a sight so beautiful it was almost unreal.

Paying no mind to her hair whipping in the wind, Evangeline stared into the distance, her mouth falling open in silent admiration.

"It's beautiful," she breathed.

"There's more to see," Finn replied with a soft laugh, having heard the awe in her voice.

He gestured with his chin toward the distance.

Evangeline followed his gaze.

Slowly, white lights began to bloom on the dark expanse of water, one after another, until the magnificent silhouette of a cruise ship was revealed.

"Come on," Finn said, starting forward.

Evangeline followed close behind. Once the gangway was lowered, she trailed him onto the yacht.

The deck was as bright as day.

Guests in elegant attire mingled, their conversations punctuated by the clinking of glasses. The atmosphere was one of effortless class.

Evangeline had assumed it would just be the two of them, or perhaps a couple of Finn's friends. She hadn't expected a full-blown party.

Now it made sense why Finn had insisted she change, and why he had been so meticulous in picking out her dress at the mall.

The sight of the crowd made a knot of anxiety tighten in her stomach, and she felt her body tense up.

Finn gently placed a hand on the small of her back. "No need to be nervous," he said soothingly. "They're all just people."

Besides, if anyone should be nervous, it was them. The Lockridge family's standing in Serenity City meant they were the ones to be feared, not the other way around.

"Mr. Lockridge, Miss Whitmore."
