Chapter 44

• Evelyn's POV
• My eyes fluttered open, the soft glow of the evening sun casting a warm ambiance in my room. I stretched, my body languid from the prolonged sleep. Reaching for my phone, I plugged it in, and the screen sprang to life.
• The notifications flooded in, a barrage of missed calls and messages. My heart skipped a beat as I saw Dylan's name dominating the list. The calls were from the previous night, each one a testament to his patience and concern.
