She was right. Even if she had kept Andrew's crimes hidden out of familial loyalty, how could he uncles possibly let him go?

At that moment, Evangeline's face was pale, her eyes bloodshot, like a fragile soap bubble that would shatter with the slightest touch..

He stood there, watching her, too afraid to move an inch.
