Chapter 264: An Elephant in the Room

Once the credits started to roll around, Evangeline was already prepared to make a quick escape. "I'm too tired. I'll just turn in for the day. Since you invited yourself, you can see yourself off also. Good night."

Just as Evangeline was sure that she would make a successful escape, Lucien spoke, "Wait. I have something for you."

Evangeline paused," I don't want anything other than to sleep so..."

However, even as she denied wanting anything, Lucien had already walked off, leaving her standing there confused. 

Just as quickly as he'd gone, he returned, handing her something white and fluffy...

Confused, she looked down at the large stuffed elephant and then at him," What is this?"

"It's an elephant, Evangeline." Lucien pointed out helpfully.

Evangeline glared at him, her patience towards him almost at an end," I can see that, Mr. Obvious! I meant just why are you giving this elephant to me?"
