Evaline:
I was pacing again, back and forth across Oscar's bedroom.
The thick carpet muffled my footsteps, but I had already walked the same path so many times that I could practically trace it with my eyes closed.
Seven steps forward. Turn. Seven steps back.
My mind refused to quiet down.
"Eva."
I ignored him.
Another turn.
Another seven steps.
"Eva."
I kept pacing because I just couldn't calm down now that I no longer had Lioren with me to distract me from my overwhelming thoughts.
Then Oscar sighed loudly.
"You are going to create holes in my carpet if you keep doing that."
I stopped mid-step, and let out a frustrated sigh before finally turning to look at him.
He was sitting on the edge of the bed, leaning back on his hands while watching me with mild amusement.
I immediately folded my arms across my chest and asked, "You are not curious?"
His eyebrow lifted.
"About what?"
I stared at him like he had just asked the most ridiculous question in the world.
