"Ms. Evangeline!" "I'm here!"

Evangeline had been stealthily eavesdropping by the door, worried that Celina's reunion with David might stir up too much emotion and lead to trouble. However, she had not expected Celina to be the one to cry out. Without a second thought, Evangeline burst into the room and saw David collapsed on the floor.
