Before Evangeline could get a word in, Roslyn's voice crackled through the phone, fiery and fierce.

"Last night's drama? I've heard it all. That jerk Walter has quite the audacity, alright! You're about to kick him to the curb, and he's got the nerve to say you can't see other guys? The nerve!"

Roslyn's tirade against Walter was relentless, and she barely paused for air. "Evie, don't waste your tears on that loser. The world's full of decent guys. So what if you want to date a younger guy? If Walter's got a problem with it, we'll just find you a whole lineup!" That might be overkill, thought Evangeline. Nevertheless, the rant did take the edge off her mood.

Sure, finding someone richer or hotter than Walter might be tough, but there's a sea of guys who are sweeter and know how to treat a woman right. Be at Kronovia Royale Pub at eight, and let's swing open the doors to your new life.'
