Bab 29: A Change in Her Eyes      

Cole was driving his cousins, Zachary and Ella, to a restaurant for lunch. The car was filled with chatter, mostly from Ella, who couldn't seem to stop talking about Eve.

"She was so cool! You should have seen her, Zach," Ella gushed. "I really thought she was just a lovestruck fool who latched onto Cole like a leech, but she has a sharp tongue! And get this—she beat up a boy! I didn't expect that at all. You should've seen how she just glanced at Cole and walked away like he was air! Honestly, I thought she was going to leap into his arms like she always does and then insist on tagging along with us to the restaurant."

Zachary chuckled, his eyes glancing at Cole through the rearview mirror. "Yeah, I gotta admit, I always thought she was just a beautiful face obsessed with Cole. But when I saw her earlier, she seemed . . . different."

"Right?!" Ella exclaimed, nodding enthusiastically.
