"I- w-what?" Risalda stammered.
Evanne frowned at Ris' reaction. She had hoped that Ris would be happy for her or at least sympathize with her feelings for Noah. Was she angry because she loved Noah? Or was it because he had a chance at a family without Ris. But then when Ris said she'd be happy with him, she definitely didn't sound happy about it. It made sense because maybe she still wanted to be with him.
The blonde sighed and nodded. Of course Ris wouldn't have wanted to listen to her insecurities. And then Ris dropped a bombshell. Ris thought she was talking about her and Luke?
"W-What?" Evanne asked, staring at Ris. "No! No! I-I wasn't meaning you. I-I meant those girls who hang all over Noah, hoping he'll sleep with them and get pregnant and force him into a loveless marriage so they can be the new Mrs. Clay." She stammered. Blushing she stepped closer to her.
"Because you know it meant something to me, there were emotions there. And I'm sure there were emotions there when you... with Luke. Because when I was with Luke, there was definitely emotions there. Mine were more like 'like and hate' emotions but still they were there." The rambling wouldn't stop. Why wouldn't it stop?
"I didn't sleep with Noah to see who was better, even you know girl's wonder. Even still Luke was like 'whoa' but Noah was like 'Whoo-whoaaa!' but... that just might be me. Because he might have been 'Whoo-whoaaa!' for you- oh my god." Evanne pressed her hand to her forehead. "I'm so sorry."
Shaking her head, Evanne felt horrible. She sighed. "I'm so sorry. I just didn't mean you, I swear. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me for even making you think that I meant you." Biting her lip, she leaned down and gave her a one-armed hug. "I'm sorry."
She sighed, straightening up. "I'll just go and check on Noah and let Evelyn sleep without letting her listen to her mother put her foot in her mouth." She gave Ris a sympathetic smile. "I'm sorry. Feel free to go to my house and drink all my liquor, spend the night. I'll stay here and check on everything. Go get some rest?"
Evanne moved away from Ris. She had to make things so much worse. She had it meant to. She pulled back the curtain to Noah's room. She slipped in and placed Evelyn on the empty cot next to Noah's. She pulled the blankets up to cover up her daughter. She turned around to face Noah. She adjusted his covers.
