Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 81

Still, Glenn couldn't deny that the agent's words had shaken his resolve.

If he'd had the courage to confess his feelings to her back then—if he'd told her how much she meant to him—maybe Soren's marriage could have been avoided.

If he'd just been a little more assertive, would things have turned out differently…?

"What's wrong? Is it stuck?"

Lost in thought, Glenn's hands had stilled. Evangeline, noticing, assumed her hair had gotten hopelessly snagged in the zipper.

She turned, concern softening her features. "If it's really stuck, just use scissors."

Of course, that would mean the end of this jacket.

Her words snapped Glenn out of his daze. He quickly averted his gaze, pushing aside the flood of regret and focusing on the task at hand. With a gentle tug, he zipped the jacket up. "All done."

Evangeline let out a relieved sigh. "Thank goodness."

Seeing the unguarded joy in her eyes, Glenn pressed his lips together, his heart pounding for reasons he didn't dare admit. He was annoyed with himself.

How could he let a few careless words from a stranger make him question everything he'd planned?

Evangeline trusted him—nothing more. There was no love there.

Until he was sure her feelings matched his own, he couldn't risk making a move.

He forced himself to calm down and asked if the jacket fit all right.

Evangeline grinned, giving him a thumbs-up. "Perfect fit! How did you know my size?"

She couldn't remember ever telling him.

Glenn replied easily, "You and Tessa are about the same build. After all these years, it doesn't seem like much has changed."
