Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 418

Evangeline noticed his reaction and the strange look in his eyes. Feeling a bit self-conscious, she touched her cheek. “What’s wrong?” she asked uncertainly.

“Nothing,” Finn replied. “She doesn’t have a name yet. Why don’t you give her one?”

Evangeline didn't suspect a thing. She thought for a moment, gently scratching the kitten’s head with her curved fingers. Staring at its black fur and bright, watery eyes, she was reminded of a cat from a cartoon she had watched as a child. An idea struck her, and her eyes lit up. “Let’s call her Sheriff.”

The kitten seemed to agree, closing its eyes and letting out a deep, rumbling purr from its chest.

Finn’s lips curved into a slight smile. “That’s a good name.”

“Although,” he teased, “Sheriff is so small. I’m not sure she could catch a bad mouse if she tried.”

“She will eventually,” Evangeline said softly. “The bad mouse won't get to run wild for too long.”

Evangeline had been worried it might be awkward moving in. Although she and Finn had been through a life-or-death situation together, this was the first time they would be living in such close proximity for an extended period. But with Sheriff around, she felt an inexplicable closeness to him. Their relationship progressed by leaps and bounds.
