Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 359

He was at his limit.

Be calm, she told herself. Stay calm!

The chaotic shouts from above told Evangeline she couldn't pin all her hopes on them.

She scanned her surroundings, desperately searching for a ledge, a foothold, anything that could offer them a temporary reprieve. But there was nothing. The cliff face was sheer and unforgiving. The branch Finn was clinging to was the only anchor point in sight. A chilling thought crossed her mind: how had he managed to overcome his fear and navigate this treacherous cliff to save her at the perfect moment? But there was no time to wonder. She saw Finn's arm begin to tremble uncontrollably.

Evangeline bit her lip and finally, with a sense of grim resignation, said, "Finn, let me go."

She couldn't let him risk his life for her any longer. It was better for one of them to die than both. She had no family left in this world; her life didn't matter. But he was different. He had no reason to be taking this risk.

"The Lockridges still need you," she said.

Finn could no longer maintain his composure. He clenched his jaw, fighting through the pain and the burning fatigue in his arm. "But I need you," he gasped out. "Evangeline, don't even think about it. I'm not letting anything happen to you."

Then, his voice raw with desperation, he roared upwards, "Soren! What the hell is taking so long?!"

"Almost there! Just hold on, don't you dare let go!" Soren's frantic shout echoed from above. Finn let out a bitter laugh. As if he needed to be told. He was holding onto the life of the woman he loved.

"Just hurry up!" he yelled back.

If he didn't know Soren also wanted Evangeline to live, he might have suspected this whole thing was a setup to get rid of him.

Suddenly, a sharp *crack* echoed from above. Both Finn and Evangeline heard it clearly. Evangeline felt her body drop slightly, and her heart plunged into an abyss.
