It wasn't until she had run far, far away from Logan Shaw that Evelyn stopped, looking towards the sky where the setting sun bled red, tears welling in her eyes.
She was pondering a question: If she hadn't seen Logan embraced with another woman, would she have accepted Caden Lockwood's domineering insistence on marriage?

She zoned out, and whenever she thought of how her years-long crush was now beyond reach, she felt like crying her heart out.
It always seemed like the motivation that had kept her moving forward had turned to ashes.
Just then, Caden's voice echoed: "Is it that hard to let go of only two dollars a day?"
