Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 389

Hearing Evangeline concede, Soren shot Finn a triumphant smirk.

Finn, of course, understood his petty need to show off. He chuckled inwardly but said nothing. He knew that if he wanted to, he could easily stop this, and Evangeline would listen to him. But this whole display was so childish that he found it utterly uninteresting. More importantly, he was already secure in Evangeline’s feelings for him. He wasn't about to get into a pissing contest over something so trivial.

Evangeline went out and didn't return until dusk. She had found some bamboo stalks and fashioned a simple steamer.

Before starting, she confirmed one last time with Soren. Only after he insisted did she place the fish inside. Even so, she added a few mint leaves and some wild ginger she had managed to find.

When the fish was cooked, Soren took his first bite.

It was tender and fresh, with almost no gamey taste.

Soren raised an eyebrow. It wasn’t nearly as bad as Evangeline had claimed.

“The bones are removed. Try some.”

Just as Soren was about to say something, he saw Finn tear off a piece of freshly grilled fish and offer it to Evangeline.

Evangeline’s hands were busy, so she naturally leaned forward and took the fish from his fingers. “Not bad,” she said after a moment, “but the cooking time is a little off. I think mine tastes better.”

“Oh, really?” Finn replied.

“Mhm. Here, you try.”

She tore off a piece from her own fish, removed the bones, and held it to Finn’s lips.

“You’re right, it’s delicious,” Finn said with a contented hum.

Evangeline took the fish she had been grilling and swapped it with Finn’s. “I may not have your survival skills,” she said with a proud smile, “but I’m a better cook.”

Finn gave her an appreciative thumbs-up.
