Chapter 31

• *EVELYN’S POV*
• I gripped the steering wheel, my eyes darting between the road and my phone on the passenger seat. The screen remained stubbornly dark. Albert hadn't called, and neither had Lucas. I tried to push down the disappointment gnawing at me. Maybe it was just a busy day for them. Or maybe they had forgotten. No, that was unlikely. But then again, why hadn't they called?
• My thoughts wandered back to Lucas and the surprise he was planning. I still had no idea what it could be, and the uncertainty was driving me nuts. Maybe it was just best to start the decoration as we’d planned. Maybe the answer was there. I had to admit, the suspense was getting to me.
