"I missed you, too… but what the hell is this, Oscar? You can't just appear out of nowhere and give me a heart attack."
Oscar's smile widened. He rubbed his neck while responding, "That's what we call a surprise. The good one supposedly triggered a slight heart attack."
"Well, congratulations," she said flatly. "You've succeeded. My blood pressure skyrocketed, nearly reaching dangerous levels. Geez, you'll be dead meat if I end up in the emergency room."
Instead of feeling sorry, Oscar continued teasing her, "Eve, you should've seen your face when those reporters cornered you. You looked ready to commit homicide."
"Stop teasing me!" She punched his arm again. "I nearly fainted seeing you, a man who is rarely seen outside right here in the middle of the city, and all you can do is laugh?"
While Evelyn and Oscar exchange playful teasing, Liam pretends to focus on the road, silently dying inside.
