Chapter 1.
In the late Winter and Spring look in April, around the second week, there was still a lot of snow coming down and onto the ground in some of the areas while it was still feeling like Winter time up in Canada. Alex Hughes said his goodbyes to Maggie and to some of the local people around a small town, including his new friend, Linda Freeman, who he stayed with before and after her daughter, Vivianne's funeral before he drove from Linda's place to the city of Winnipeg to go see his old friend, Rebecca and her husband, Charles. Alex and Rebecca were old flames when they were going out together in their younger years, even before he went to prison for killing a man, who killed their son, Ryan. Alex knew now that a near by police Officer, Clyde was now going out together with Maggie. I tell you right there, that police Officer was such a very jealous bastard every time when it came to him seeing Alex and Maggie getting together at times. Like, going out to dinner at her place, or even hanging around her house for a little while or more.
Clyde wanted her to keep away from Alex, although, the jealousy had gotten the best of him. What's up with that really? Maggie and Alex have the right to socialize with each other and other people surrounding them, like, saying hello to everyone, or even when they were going on their friendly dates. Clyde was always a cocky arrogant and ignorant bastard.
Along the way to Rebecca's, driving down the road, Alex saw a woman with long light brown hair and baby blue ocean eyes, walking on the side of the road with her duffel bag on her. The bus stop was about a mile back down the road from where she was walking from. Alex was very curious about her even though. Alex got to the diner restaurant for dinner and coffee as he got out of the car and he walked in and he looked for a good place to sit down at a booth. Hopefully to have some peace and quiet, so he could read his book in peace. The waitress, who was a little bit bit too flirty when it came to her to be seeing some really good looking guys that she could inwardly drool over at. Like Alex, who only just wanted to come into the diner for a bite to eat, something to drink and just keep things quiet to himself.
The young 24 year old waitress, Kathy Holtz saw Alex, sitting in the booth and she walked over to his table and she looked down at him while she was chewing her bubble gum, like she was a high school teenager and she was batting her eyes lashes at him cheekily. Oh boy, he was so good looking to her as she was looking up and down at his features. She was also dressed like as if she was in the 1970's version of clothes. "Is there anything that you want eat and drink while you're here, honey?" Kathy asked flirtingly. The owner, Melanie of the diner would not be very happy with her if she starts flirting with, or to her customers at all. But the young waitress does it anyway on purpose to get her boss pissed off at her, but she does get the job done and she is a good worker, but she could be immature at times though.
Alex was looking down at the menu for a moment and he inwardly rolled his eyes at her for her flirting words and then, he looked up at her when he sighed deeply, tiredly and he faked a smile to make it look like it was real to her. He really was not in a very good mood for some flirts like her. He knew what she was trying to do, but he didn't say anything to cause any problems and he didn't want that at all. For an example, Alex would feel both humiliated and embarrassed if he ever caused to make a scene. "I just want some coffee, a cup of hot tea and some ceaser salad with some dressing sauce to go with it, please, thank you." Alex said in his deep baritone voice as he nodded his thanks to her, completely ignoring her flirtatious gaze at him.
The waitress gave him a toothy smile. "Okay there, honey bun. I'll put in your order in and I'll be right out with your coffee and tea. Alright there, sweetie pie?" Kathy said cheerily and with that, she walked away from his booth as she was striding towards the kitchen in the back room. After she left, Alex felt so relieved that the flirty waitress was out of sight and out of ear shot for now for at least a few moments. And then he began to read his 250 pages book the he brought when he was staying with Linda. Alex Huges was totally not in the very mood to be all that lovey dovey things at by the young waitress.
Before Kathy came out with his coffee, hot tea and his salad, Alex looked up and he saw a lady walked into the diner and it was the same woman of whom he saw a little earlier, walking along side of the road, like about 10, 15 minutes ago. She was carrying her duffel bag around with her. And as she walked in, she walked over to the counter and she sat down on 1 of the bar stools when she placed her duffel bag down right next to her. To Alex, the lady looked like someone, who she came back, or here visiting, or living here in Winnipeg. Either coming from her home somewhere, from vacation, or from the Army though. He saw that she had a winter Army hat and a heavy thermal winter coat with a tee shirt on underneath it that had said 'US Army' on it. So, Alex had must have figured out, or he thought that she was from the Army perhaps, or something else than that. Alex looked at her and he couldn't take his eyes off of her. There was something about her that drew him to her for some reason. There was something about that really got his attention and his focus on her right there and then.
While Eva was sitting at the counter when she was waiting very patiently and just then, another waitress, who Eva recognized right away, who was a little bit more older than her when she was walking up to where Eva was sitting and she stood right in front of her as Melanie placed her arms and hands on the table counter with a big warm tender smile on her face and her eyes lit up cheerfully. "Well, Eva, you sight for soar eye. Eva, how the hell have you been doing there, sweetie? It's so good to see you." The older waitress and owner, Melanie asked happily as she placed her hands over hers. Melanie was very happy and surprised at the same time to see her friend every year when she came to visit her ever since Eva's mother was killed in the line of duty from the armed bank robbery heist in Albany, New York Police Department. And her father was a gunnery Sargent in the Marines and he was killed in action in Afghanistan in a bomb raid and her heart transplant 10 years earlier around that time.
Eva looked up at Melanie and she gave her a tender smile on her face. She too was so glad to see her best friend. "I'm hanging in and hanging on there, Mel. Things have changed since the last 10 years for me. It hasn't been the same for me ever since Mom and Dad were killed 10 years ago just before I had my heart transplant back in New York state. It is what it is in life, you know what I mean there?" Eva said softly with a bit of sadness in her voice and with that being said, a booth right next to her spot at the counter was when Alex had heard her talk to her best friend loud and clear as he looked up from his book and at Evangeline with both concern and sympathy and something else. He would like to meet her even though when he gets to know her better. How did her parents died and how did her heart caused all of the medical issues with her, before she had her heart transplant. Alex was wondering in thought to himself, but although, he would like to have a talk with her when he gets to know her better and then, he would then start asking her those questions in time about herself and each other. It sounded like to him that she went through a lot of things in her whole life. Eva felt that she went through hell as well and she still had nightmares about her Mom and Dad's death at nights.
Melanie gave her a small sad smile and she sighed. "I know what you mean right there, Eva honey. Even though, I'm going to be getting off in about a half an hour though." She paused for a moment. "Say, how about you have some good hot mocha coffee while you wait before we go? Melanie asked. She knew that Evangeline always loved her favorite mocha flavored coffee. "And Eva, you can stay with me as long as you want to and we also need to see if Rebecca and Charles needs any help with anything that they needed us to do. I'll introduce you to them first thing tomorrow." Melanie said. When she said 'Rebecca.' Alex shot his head up from reading his book and he locked his eyes towards the 2 ladies with his eyes slightly widened. 'How do they know Rebecca and Charles. They must be living next door to each other. I wonder.' Alex thought quietly to himself, but he didn't want to say anything at the moment just yet, but he will when he meets Eva and Melanie. This would be easier for him to meet Eva and her best friend when he gets the chance to in time. She knew that Evangeline was going to stay with her permanently and she needed it. Melanie needed help around her house and help her do other things and doing the chores as well. Eva also told her that she had to move out of her apartment, because of the adicted drug users and the alcoholics who were causing a lot of trouble and the land lord kept jacking the rent money up so high, like you wouldn't believe it in the whole wide world. It's a very good thing that Eva got out of there just in the nick of time and she moved out of there. What she only had with her was her duffel that belonged to her father in which was filled with her clothes, toiletries, her laptop, some books, and she also wears her Dad's dog tags that she wears around her neck in her Dad's honor. Evangeline had hoped that she would stay with her best friend, Melanie Shumack up in Winnipeg to find piece in her life to be put back together again.
Evangeline's eyes lit up with a happy grin. "Sure, Mel, I'll have some of that mocha, please and I would love to meet Rebecca and Charles tomorrow if they needed any help. I'll be more than glad to do it to help around." She said happily softly. There was her name again. How do they know them that Alex Hughes was curious about. He was even more curious about Evangeline. Mocha was also her Dad's favorite kind of coffee. Melanie gently patted Eva's hand in comfort and she walked back towards the kitchen to get her a cup of the mocha coffee with a little bit off whipped cream on top of it. That would give some really good energy for her to take, she walked from the bus stop to get to the diner was a full 2 miles to get over there. It depends of the traffic and the roads it took. Eva didn't mind the walk at all. While she was waiting on her coffee, Eva looked around at everyone, sitting in every single table and booth that she saw them sitting in. She knew right there and then that she was being watched by someone when she felt the heat radiating of the eyes falling onto her. So she slightly turned around and she locked her eyes onto a booth right behind her where Alex Hughes was sitting in, who was looking back at her and she smiled tenderly at him when she waved her hand to him in greeting and he smiled as he waved right back to her with the same expressions on his face as Eva's.
Just then, a few moments later, Kathy brought out Alex's salad, hot tea and his coffee over to his booth as he placed his book down. "You enjoy yourself right there. Sweetie pie." She said and with that, she walked back towards the kitchen. (And yes, I have seen people ordered milk with soda. Even Hot tea with coffee. There is nothing strange about that.) Alex had to make sure that she was gone and out of sight and then he pick his fork and he started eating his salad. Evangeline smiled and she turned back around just when Melanie came out of the kitchen with a medium good size cup of her favorite mocha coffee with whipped cream on top, in which was the good part of any hot, or cold drink.
