Chapter 40

Phillip parked the car in front of the restaurant’s glass walls. He had an uninterrupted view from here.

It was already dark as it was colder lately, so Roman didn’t feel inconspicuous sitting in the car. Not like when he had gone there before. The first time had been in broad daylight and his car had stuck out so much in this neighbourhood that he hadn’t been able to stop long enough to see Evelyn.

Now he could sit here for however long he wanted like some love-struck teenager waiting to catch a glimpse of his crush.

This was so stupid.

He was a grown man and should have been able to just walk in and ask to talk. Maybe this was a mistake. Evelyn had put their time together behind her so he had to respect that. He had to leave things alone instead of playing with fire again.

“Are you going in?” Phillip asked.

Was he?

He looked through the window, and almost immediately Evelyn walked out of the kitchen in the back holding a tray full of food.
