Chapter 69

• Evangeline had created a timeline in her mind. After an hour of uninterrupted music, she would lean the violin and stretch her legs.
• She played with her eyes closed, so she wouldn’t be intimidated by all those masculine looks. Between one song and another, she takes the cue to look around and inspect the guests. No woman. Aside from her and the receptionist, there was no woman among the guests.
• Intriguing, she thought. But she didn’t let it kill her. She finished the first hour masterfully and stood up to reverence the applause received.
