"Evie, you're acting super weird today. Are you keeping secrets from me?" Roslyn's gaze sharpened, silently waiting for Evangeline to tell the truth."Since when have I ever kept anything from you? And with the bond we share, why would I start now?" Evangeline, clueless about what was really going on, remained defiant.Roslyn was not in a rush to call her out, though. She casually flicked the movie tickets in her hand, deftly switching topics. "The movie starts in ten minutes. Let's get to the ticket check!"At that, Evangeline let out a huge sigh of relief.As long as Roslyn was not grilling her with that intense stare, she was content!While getting their tickets checked, Evangeline could not help but notice Roslyn's outfit was extra flashy today, and her makeup was on point, like she was ready for her close-up.If they were just here for a midnight flick to ogle some eye candy, Roslyn would not need to get all dolled up…"Roslyn, is there something special about this screenin

"That's the one!""You were going to introduce me, remember? Roslyn, my savior, could you maybe..."The way he drew out the end of his sentence was tinged with urgency, but it was clear he was downright thirsty for talent.Roslyn had watched Matthew fret over finding a decent lyricist for years and figured it was time to lend a hand. So, she decided to set up an intro during a casual movie outing.Seeing his eagerness, Roslyn did not beat around the bush. "I was planning to introduce you guys anyway. Getting her to write for you, however, is not going to be a walk in the park."Let me lay it out straight: I will make the intro, and the rest is on you. Whether you can convince her to pen some lyrics, that is your gig.""I get it. If the work is good, she can name her price!"Matthew was not shy about pouring money into his music, especially when it came to a lyricist with serious chops.Alas…Roslyn waggled her finger in front of him. "My friend is the darling of the Foster fam

Evangeline did not make her move until the woman in question rose from her seat again. She trailed behind, stepping out into the corridor.The hallway outside the cinema was bathed in dim light, and Evangeline's face was a picture of discomfort. Words failed her.She and Matthew had plenty to chat about, sure, but they had only just met. His over-the-top enthusiasm was overwhelming, leaving Evangeline struggling to keep up.With Roslyn watching, she could not just brush him off without causing a scene. Thus, she put on a brave face and muddled through. Eventually, with no other options, she ducked out for another escape to the restroom.The sight of the restroom sign was like a beacon of hope. Relief washed over her.Roslyn, of all people, knew how much Evangeline detested these social dances. She would probably use the chance to fill Matthew in.So, Evangeline took her time. Just as she stepped into the stall, before the door could even click shut, a sudden force pushed her insi

It was the midnight showing, so the restroom was practically a ghost town. Roslyn checked stall after stall—nothing but echoes.What Roslyn did not know was that Evangeline was trapped, just one stall over, her heart pounding in her chest. She had heard Roslyn's calls but before she could yell back. Walter's hand was clamped over her mouth, silencing her desperate cries.Evangeline fought like a wildcat, but Walter's grip was unbreakable, his hands like iron against her lips.The stall was too big and Walter had her pinned down, leaving her with only one leg free, desperately trying to kick the door to make some noise, to signal Roslyn. It was not enough, however.She was about to lose hope when Roslyn's voice grew nearer. 'Please, just a few more steps,' Evangeline prayed silently, 'you're so close to finding me..."Then, Walter's chilling whisper slithered into her ear, a dark promise that sent shivers down her spine. "Do you really think Roslyn showing up is going to save you?

Walter's mood soured as the head bodyguard brushed past him. The guy was a thorn in his side, and Walter vowed to make him vanish from Avalon City for good.The drama in the restroom wrapped up, and the bodyguard, Matthew, and the rest of the men knew it was time to clear out.Evangeline, totally spent from the ordeal, slumped against the cubicle wall, panting hard. "Walter is the worst!" she fumed.She felt like she could explode with frustration because of him.Meanwhile, Roslyn, who had just snapped out of her daze, blurted out without thinking, "Evie, about the movie...""Forget it, Roslyn, I'm heading home."The last thing she wanted was to sit through a movie.Evangeline figured it just was not her day. She had not checked the horoscope before leaving home, which must have been why she kept bumping into Walter, the walking disaster."Okay, I'll walk you home." Roslyn understood where Evangeline was coming from. She had suggested the movie just to keep Evangeline out a bit
