Then, Axel walked to Evelyn and sat beside her.
His arm brushed hers, and she felt the heat rise in her cheeks instantly.
He glanced at her plate, then at Oscar's untouched wine glass.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything important," he said in that calm, charming voice.
Oscar forced a laugh. "No, no, nothing important at all! Just two old friends catching up before... Uh, being tossed into the Pacific!"
Evelyn almost choked on her water, glaring at him. 'What the hell, Oscar?'
Axel's lips twitched, amusement flickering in his eyes. "Pacific, huh?"
"Did I say Pacific?" Oscar asked. "Well, I meant... Atlantic! Totally different shark population."
Evelyn shook her head. She can't believe that Oscar came up with that idea. "Oscar, please stop talking."
Axel chuckled quietly, turning to her. "You really know how to choose interesting friends."
"He's harmless," she muttered, shooting her sharp gaze at Oscar again.
