The case against me was practically wrapped up with a bow on it. When all the pieces fell into place, the police quit digging, but there had to be something. Some piece of evidence that would link Nathan to the crime. He had forgotten something like I had. If I could make this woman see exactly who Nathan was, maybe she would help me uncover the missing piece of evidence that could set this right.
Evelyn’s shoulders slumped in defeat but quickly perked up when I said, “I’ll make you a deal.”
“A deal?” She hesitated with a hopeful look on her face.
“You agree to keep coming here, and let me tell you my side of the story, and if at the end of it you still want to marry that piece of—” I stopped myself. “Nathan, I’ll sign the papers.”
“Are you serious?”
I nodded. “Yes, but I’m not signing anything until you’ve heard it all.”
She considered the offer for a moment. If I was sincere, I was more concerned about saving my ass, but perhaps in the process, I could also be Evelyn’s salvation by helping her see the truth before she made the same mistakes I did.
“Nathan can’t find out,” she said.
“Who’s going to tell him?” I laughed.
