“You tried to kick me out?” Carter questions Cole. “What the fuck, man?”

“I was just trying to protect her.”

“From what? From me?”

“Yes, from you. Obviously, she ran from you for a reason.”

Carter lunges at Cole. “You knew what she meant to me. You knew how long I’ve searched for her.”

The bouncer runs to them, pulling Carter off him after he gets in a few punches.

“Stop!” I scream at the top of my lungs. “Both you of you, just stop.” I open my door. “I don’t ever want to see either of you, ever again!”

“Evangeline,” they both yell, but the bouncer stops them from getting any closer to me.

“Let her go,” he demands, towering over both of them, daring them to try anything.

And I do. I go. I just don’t know where yet.
