How could he go so quickly from asking her to stay to asking her to leave? Yesterday, she’d gone to the cookout hoping to figure out how Evan felt about her and in turn how she felt about him. He couldn’t have made his feelings any clearer if he’d doused them in a bottle of Windex. What could have caused such a dramatic shift in his attitude in so short a time?Did he think she didn’t care about Robin or the baby? Did he think she would get the job and leave, abandon the café, abandon his sister-in-law? Her insides squirmed. She supposed he had cause to think that way, seeing as she’d done it ten years ago. And again after Robin took her husband off life support.“I think you’re horrible because of the way you left.”He’d spoken those words before. Did he feel the same way now?When Bethany awoke the next morning after a nearly sleepless night, Evan’s words still fresh in her mind, she decided to drive over and explain herself. She needed to set him straight. She needed him to know she cared about Robin.
