Some things
Later that evening, Evangeline invited me to her room. Initially, this invitation was intriguing in terms of possibilities, but when I stepped into her room, I realized the atmosphere was relaxing and intimate. The warm lighting of the bedroom, combined with its simple yet elegant decor, invited us to a calm conversation.
Evangeline sat in a comfortable chair in the middle of the room and invited me to sit across from her. On the table were two glasses and a bottle of sweet wine. "Tonight, I just want to talk," she said, with a seriousness in her eyes. This seriousness reminded me once again of how deep the bond between us was.
