Evangeline
Evangeline Fox always believed she’d find herself inside of a fairytale one
day. As a young girl, whenever a new shipment of curiosities would come
into her father’s shop, Evangeline would immediately rush to the crates.
She would examine each item inside and ask herself, Could this be it?
Could this be the object that would thrust her into a fantasy?
Once there had been an enormous crate with only a doorknob inside.
The knob was an exquisite jeweled green and sparkled in the light like
magic. Evangeline was convinced that if she attached it to the right door, it
would open up to another world and her fairytale would begin.
The doorknob, sadly, never opened up to anything out of the ordinary.
But Evangeline never gave up hope that someday she’d find herself
elsewhere.
Hoping and imagining and believing in magic had always been like
breathing to Evangeline. And yet it was suddenly very difficult to breathe as
she finally found herself elsewhere, wrapped in the arms of a handsome
young man who said he was her husband.
Husband. The word made her head spin. How? How? How? She was
too overwhelmed to ask more than that one word. In fact, she couldn’t even
manage to speak it aloud.
If she wasn’t being held, Evangeline might have crumpled back onto the
floor. It was too much to take in and too much to lose all at once.
One of the last things she remembered was sitting with her father as he
died at home. But even that memory was ragged around the edges. As if his
death were part of a faded portrait, only it wasn’t just faded—pieces of it
had also been ruthlessly ripped away. She couldn’t clearly remember the
months before her father’s death or anything that had happened afterward.
She didn’t even recall how he’d caught the fever that had killed him.
All she knew was that, like her mother, her father was gone—and he
had been for some time.
“I know this must be frightening. I imagine you feel alone, but you’re
not, Evangeline.” The stranger who’d said he was her husband held her
tighter.
He was tall, the sort of tall that made Evangeline feel small as he held
her close enough for her to feel that he was shaking, too. She didn’t imagine
he was as terrified as she was, but clearly he didn’t feel as confident as he
looked. “You have me—and there is nothing I wouldn’t do for you.”
“But I don’t remember you,” she said. She was a little reluctant to pull
away. But it was all so overwhelming. He was overwhelming.
A deep line formed between the stranger’s brows as she pulled back.
But he replied patiently, his voice low and soothing as he said, “My name is
Apollo Acadian.”
Evangeline waited again for a flare of recognition, or even just a tiny
spark. She needed something familiar, something to hold on to that would
keep her from collapsing back onto the ground, and Apollo looked at her as
if he wanted to be that. No one had ever looked at her with so much
intensity.
