Evelyn

A performance that causes a jaw drop is worth every second of preparation.

The car was pulling away from my parents street when I caught sight of him through the window, Charlie, standing near the gates of his company building with a man beside him, both of them were mid conversation, and even from this distance I could read the tension in the way he was holding himself, the tight set of his shoulders, the slight forward lean of a man carrying more weight than he was letting anyone see.

    CharlieMy dreams of her were becoming even more frequent than usual and it was killing me.I had seen her for less than three seconds through a car window and somehow that was enough to ruin the rest of my afternoon entirely. Frank and I had made it to lunch and I had sat across from him for an hour pushing food around a plate, contributing just enough to the conversation to avoid questions I did not want to answer, and by the time we parted ways outside the restaurant I could tell from the way he looked at me that he had noticed everything and was choosing, for now, to say nothing about it.I drove home in the kind of mood that had no name, just a weight.The house was quiet when I got in, which meant Serena had not yet returned, and I was grateful for that in the uncomplicated way you are grateful for small mercies that you know are temporary. I changed, poured myself a drink I barely touched and sat in the study with work on the screen in front of me that I read without absorbing

    EvelynA performance that causes a jaw drop is worth every second of preparation.The car was pulling away from my parents street when I caught sight of him through the window, Charlie, standing near the gates of his company building with a man beside him, both of them were mid conversation, and even from this distance I could read the tension in the way he was holding himself, the tight set of his shoulders, the slight forward lean of a man carrying more weight than he was letting anyone see.I watched him until the car moved past and he disappeared from view, and something warm and deeply satisfying settled in my chest.Julian noticed, the way Julian always noticed everything without appearing to. "Are you more interested in building your empire right now or in making sure those two suffer specifically.""Both," I replied, still looking out of the window."Evelyn.""I am doing both Julian, and I will succeed at both, I do not see the conflict."He said nothing after that, which told

    CharlieThe office was the only place that had ever asked nothing of me except results, and that morning I needed that more than I needed anything else.I had not called Serena. I had woken up, showered, dressed and driven straight in without checking my phone beyond the work notifications and I felt no particular way about that decision. Whatever state she had gotten herself home in after last night was a problem she had created and could sort accordingly.The morning meeting was already assembled when I walked into the boardroom, my team spread around the table with their laptops open and their presentations pulled up. I took my seat at the head, poured coffee from the carafe in the center and listened while they walked through the material, asking questions where the logic thinned and cutting sections that were running too long. The deal on the table was significant and I was not walking into that event with a presentation that had any soft spots in it."Tighten the third segment,"

    EvelynThe red dress was doing exactly what I needed it to do and I knew it before I even turned away from the mirror.Leo appeared in the doorway behind me with wide eyes, his SpiderMan toy dangling from one hand. "Mama, are we going to the park?"I turned and crouched down to his level, smoothing the front of his shirt with both hands. "No, love, mama is going to see some very important people today, but aunt Amanda is going to stay here with you and make sure you watch SpiderMan."He considered this with the gravity of a child evaluating a business proposal. "With ice cream and popcorn?"I pressed my lips together. "Hmm, with ice cream and popcorn."His face broke open completely and he was already turning to run when Amanda appeared in the doorway with Julian one step behind her. She scooped Leo up mid-sprint and he went willingly, already telling her about the episode he wanted to watch before they had cleared the doorway.Julian stepped in and looked at me. "Is he not coming?""

    CharlieI was looking at the same woman but a different twin with the most stupid mindset and I had married her.The security guards still had her arms when I appeared in the doorway and Serena was not interested in being restrained by anyone."You shameless man," she screamed, twisting against their grip, "so this is what you do, you go around town cheating on me, where is she Charlie? I know she is in there, you are sleeping with her right now are you not, you disgraceful, lying…""Serena," I cut in, and my voice came out flat and tired in a way that had nothing to do with the hour, "what is the meaning of this, what are you doing here.”She stopped twisting just long enough to stare at me like I had lost my mind for asking.I turned to the security, "Please, leave her, she is my wife."They exchanged a look, released her arms and disappeared down the corridor without another word.Serena straightened her clothes with a sharp motion, pushed past me into the room and immediately star

    EvelynI woke up to the smell of fresh roses.Apparently Julian had left a surprise bouquet with gifts on my dresser sometime before I woke up, a handwritten card propped against the vase that read: Get dressed, Laurel Classics, ten o'clock, do not be late.I picked up the card, read it twice and smiled to myself, setting it back down against the flowers.What was Julian up to now, I wondered, did he want to get me another expensive bag, did he think I needed convincing into one of those boutiques he liked pretending he did not enjoy as much as I did. I hummed softly under my breath as I padded down the hallway.“If you say you love me, you're gonna put me in Chanel,” because that was exactly the energy of this morning and I was not apologizing for it.I pushed Leo's door open gently. "Hey boo boo."He stirred, pulling the covers tighter."Wake up, sweetie," I murmured, sitting on the edge of his bed and rubbing his back.He rolled over slowly, blinking at me with those devastating b
