259 Family time - III

 Evelyn kept her eyes trained on her daughter who was playing with her cousin without a sign of fear or the trauma that she had previously shown. 

Still not convinced, Especially after the cryptic answer given by Angelo, she kept an eye out for both of them.

"Hey," Evelyn heard a familiar voice and before she knew it, someone had taken a seat beside her on the couch. 

Turning to the person occupying the seat, Evelyn greeted Bella Rosa back. 

"How have you been?" Bella Rosa asked. "It has been quite some time since we last met." 

"It has. Yes." Evelyn agreed. "I have been good, thank you." 

The awkwardness in between them was apparent. It might be even visible to someone if they look closely but Evelin did not let it bother her. Instead, she kept her eyes trained on the children, looking for any kind of sign of fear shown by her daughter. 

"Um," Bella Rosa cleared her throat. " Would you like to have a cup of coffee?"
