Oh. When the guy introduced himself, Evelyn realized that she definitely wouldn't be able to pronounce his name. It sounded something like chao? And, she couldn't even tell him to say his name again. That would be incredibly embarrassing. "Nice to meet you." Yep. "I'm Evelyn but you can call me Eve." Evelyn smiled. So she hadn't seen it all? João's spirits rose at the news. "Do you need a company to show you around?" Y'know, someone as fair blond and polite as he was? He would maybe be spotted by--but why was he worrying about her now? She had made it clear that he be gone now only if he couldn't guarantee things. And he was gone--to other friendships he could find. "You have a wonderful name, Evelyn," he said softly, oblivious that she had skated around pronouncing his name out loud. "Why do you not use the original form of it?" There were many Eve's, but only a few Evelyn's. Why did she let her name misused like that? "And, if you want, you can call me Marcelo, if it's any easier." He smiled. "That's my middle name." He didn't let that priviledge even to Louisa. He was changing, indeed. |
