"""Charlie, it's been a long time. How come you're here?"" As soon as Evelyn Sherman started speaking and saw Charlie Austin raise his head, she suddenly felt that he seemed different.
He still had a handsome face and a tall, upright figure, but it seemed to be tinged with a touch of unruliness.
The look in his eyes as he gazed at her was tinged with loneliness as well.
""I called you a few times and no one answered. I wanted to see you, so I had no choice but to come here."" Charlie Austin spoke softly with one hand in his pocket, his eyes, warm and moist, lingering on Evelyn Sherman's face.
They hadn't seen each other for so long, but he couldn't see a hint of longing in her eyes.
""I didn't see your calls…"" Evelyn Sherman lowered her head and went through her bag, quickly realizing that she had left her cell phone on top of some documents when she rushed out the door and forgot to bring it!
