#Chapter 65
Evelyn
Over time I've learned to not feed into the darkness and sadness that swirls inside of me as if it's a part of my soul. I have a lot of blessings in my life. But those two, they're just there. Nothing can change that for me.
I sit in the cafe with Noah for an hour, talking and laughing. Later he drives me to my office but refrains from entering it due to Miles, whom I see peeking out at us from behind the glass door.
/"I had a great time with you today./"
/"I'm glad. It was great for me too./" Glancing at Miles I find him still looking at us.
/"Can I take you on a date?/"
I saw this coming but now that it's here. I don't know what to say. I'm conflicted.
Go on a date with him. Yasmine's words echo in my mind.
/"I'd love to,/" I say confidently.
I should give this a try. Maybe this comforting company that I share with Noah can become my new normal.
