That man

Evie raised her brow at Gav's question. She had not expected him to ask that at all. Then she narrowed her eyes slightly at him.

"You think I'm looking for a female?" Evie asked. She wanted to think Gav had asked that because he was just hoping it was not a man and that he was just being jealous about this person she had been referring to as the 'most important'. However, for some reason, Evie felt as though that was not really the reason behind his question right now. Somehow, she did not know how, but she had a strong hunch that he had asked her about that not out of jealousy but because of something else. And that churning feeling in her gut made her really hesitant in answering straight up about the question that was posed to her. If it were in any normal situation, she would not have thought twice and would have just immediately answered him without any hesitance. But she held back the uneasiness and calmed her heart, deciding to trust in her husband.
