"Tell me you... er... Never mind. I know you're not much for golf.
Let's go shopping, traveling, dancing, singing, whatever you want to do." The thought of her being depressed moved Sheffield to the verge of tears.
He was such a jerk. Evelyn had been so depressed that she was on meds again, but he was still angry with her and kept making things difficult for her.
Evelyn managed to collect herself. After adopting a serious look, she said, "I want you to apologize to me."
“Sure. I'm sorry, Evelyn. Eve, honey, it's all my fault." As Long as
Evelyn was happy, apologizing to her was the least he could do.
“What are you sorry about?"
“Everything. I've been wrong since the day you got engaged to Calvert.
I shouldn't have let things get that far. I should've told you what kind of person he was at the engagement ceremony." He had regretted it.
He thought about that a million times since then. He woke in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, his thoughts consumed by it.
Ignoring the curious gazes from the others, Sheffield continued affectionately, “I shouldn't have gone away for two years. I shouldn't have tried to piss you off when you came to see me..."
Evelyn was in tears already. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time, never mind the fact that she had tricked him into saying all this.

I did that to you. Evelyn, please don't be angry. I won't do it again."
She smiled, "I knew.
“You knew? Knew what?"
“I knew he's your brother.”
“Oh, that's even better. By the way, I went to the theater the other day. I'd never stand you up. I was running Late. That was wrong. I should have let you know I was there. I shouldn't have sat in the last row, just staring at you. I shouldn't have followed you outside, pretending we were both there by chance."
When she heard all this, Evelyn did get angry. ‘He was in the theater all the time and he didn't talk to me? Was he stalking me? How much has he done that? Argh! He is so impossible!"
“Evelyn, let me take care of you just like I did before, okay?" said
Sheffield, taking her into his arms. His tone was full of guilt and sorrow.
Willow was surprised and asked Gifford, “Are they..
