Evelyn leaned against the edge of Rayna’s desk, crossing her arms. “So, does that mean you’re no longer interested in meeting Ethan to see if he’s your destiny?”

Rayna giggled, a mischievous glint in her eyes. “Oh, I’m still interested. It wouldn’t be so bad to go from not having a man to having two men at same time and then choose between them. I don’t want to put all my eggs in one basket”

Rayna’s gaze soon softened as she looked more closely at Evelyn. There was something about her friend that was different–something that went beyond the usual glow of happiness. “So, what’s up?” Rayna said, tilting her head curiously, “You’re different today.”

Rayna’s smile widened as she leaned forward, eager to hear more. “Something funny happened this morning.” Evelyn continued, her eyes winkling with amusement. But before she could share the story, Rayna cut in.

“Wait! How did it go last night with your parents? You never told

Evelyn’s smile softened, a dreamy look crossing her face. “Derek was there with me. It was really good. At first, my father was going to be difficult. but Derek stepped up and handled the situation. He was amazing.” Evelyn said and went on to tell Rayna how it had all played out

“No. Please, don’t. I can’t stand her right now,” Sandra said with a sniffle.

“Alright then. I’ll be free by 7 PM. You can let me know when to meet up,” Rayna said before hanging up.

She was very sure that Sandra was up to something, and she couldn’t wait to find out what Sandra planned to do.
