81 Hiding the truth

The next day I woke up earlier than the hsual I stopped in a caffee shop to get a latte and then drove to work. As I drove in the main street I spotted a familiar figure, so slowed down and saw Evelyn was getting out of a house.

She wasn't living in that flat so I wondered why she was there. Did she have any friends living there?

I stopped the car and lowered the window.

She turned around but when her gaze fell on me she got paler and widened her eyes.

She walked closer to the car and smiled but the smile didn't touch her eyes so I had the impression that was a plastic smile.

Maybe she was hiding something from me but what could it be?

"What are you doing here?" I asked trying to sound less meddling than I wanted to sound.

I just hoped she wasn't in trouble.

"Oh..." she cleared her voice and turned to look at the house where she exited from, she contemplated it for some instants unable to answer me.
