Fresh air. A warm breeze. A combination of the scent of her coffee and cherry blossom trees growing right outside the cafe she sat at. All of these things Evangeline Wolfe loves, but none of them more than she loves the feeling of relief. Her debut single was out, and, of course, she wouldn't know until later how it did, she still felt really good about it. She sits at one of the tables outside the coffee shop and pulls out her copy of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, and begins reading it for the fourth time.

Evangeline looks up from her book for a moment to see Katie Coyle walk into the coffee shop and then back out, sitting at the table next to her's. Evangeline looks around, trying to see if anybody else had noticed her idol walking around. Except for a couple people inside the coffee shop who had pulled out their cell phones and were trying to snap pictures of her through the windows, nobody else.

She takes a deep breath in and then says, "Hi!" towards Katie, except for her esophagus wasn't quite ready yet, and the greeting came out in a sort of strained way, making Evangeline sound like she had a bad cold or she had been smoking for twenty-five years. She clears her throat and tries again. "Hi, Miss. Coyle. I'm Evangeline. I'm a really big fan." She gives her cute, beaming smile.

How nice Katie was being to Evangeline, who probably looked like a total freak to her, made Evangeline almost squeal with happiness. When she takes Katie's hand, her beams again, looking at their hands together. "I'm, uh- I'm doing great. Thank you so much," She says back, stumbling over her words. "You can all me Eva. That's what my friends call me. Not that I think you're my friend-- But we can be friends! I'm not saying that I wouldn't want to be your friend, just that we're not an-- I'm sorry." She blushes madly, upset at herself for getting so jumbled and excited around Katie. "It's just really great to meet you."

Evangeline nods and picks up her purse and coffee, moving over to the seat across from Katie at her table. "Thank you so much." She puts her book back into her purse and smiles. "Jane Eyre is my favorite. She's so... so... refined, yet rebellious. It's beautiful." She starts to calm down a bit and takes a sip of her coffee. "What have you been doing lately?"

Evangeline nods excitedly, loving talking about books, especially with somebody else that reads. "Mhm. I love reading. Especially Charlotte and Emily Bronte..." She beams at her. "I love that you're in a book club. That just seems so... so.. plebeian, yet perfect for you." She takes another sip of her coffee as she listens to Katie, watching her. She claps her hands together and smiles. "How is your little boy? How old is he? Do you have a picture?" She asks quickly. "I haven't been doing much, really... I..." She hesitates, wondering if she should even mention that she also sings to her idol. "I'm a a singer. I just released my first single..."

Evangeline smiles, happy to be given a moment to talk about books any time. "Well, of course, Jane Eyre... And Wuthering Heights! But that's Emily Bronte, not Charlotte. They're both wonderful," She says excitedly and then realizes that she may have offended Katie. "Oh! No! I didn't mean it like that! I think book clubs are great! It's just... well... most of the time when I hear about book clubs, it's with middle-aged mothers. It's just funny that The Katie Coyle is in a book club, don't you think?"

Evangeline smiles as she looks at the picture of Lucus, smiling as she sees that Hayden is also in the picture. She had always thought that Katie Coyle and Hayden Merjos were cute together. Seeing a picture of Hayden in that family situation made her think it even more. "He's absolutely precious," she muses at the picture.

"Oh, I sing indie folk songs... You know, indie rock. Very minimal..." She smiles. "I'm not as great as you, but I'm trying. I just released my first single this morning."

Evangeline smiles. "The Castle of Otranto.... That's the one where the kid gets crushed by the huge helmet, isn't it?" She giggles a little bit. "I believe I read it, but I must have stopped midway through it. I don't remember what happens at the end. I just remember that it was very gothic and Poe-like. Of course, it was all before Poe, but still." She beams at her. "Do I have any kids? Oh, no... no. I don't even have a boyfriend." She laughs, shaking her head. "Um... I have my father? I spend a lot of time with him. He's my manager, and he writes a lot of my songs with me..." She says, becoming quieter as she continues on with that train of thought. She was pretty embarrassed by the fact that at the age of twenty-four, she was still controlled by her father, but, honestly, she didn't know any other way to live.

She smiles, happy that Katie seemed interested in her music. "Of course, of course! Um..." She digs through her purse and pulls out a copy of her single. "I promise I don't normally carry around CDs of myself. I just happen to have this on me," She says, embarrassed by the fact that she had that CD on her. "You don't have to listen to it... But if you want to... You can have that CD. It's yours." She blushes, the idea of letting one of her idols hear her music scaring the absolute shit out of her.

Evangeline shivers. "All of Poe gave me nightmares. I think that's why I like them so much. My dad made me stop reading them when I was a kid because I wouldn't be able to sleep for weeks afterwards..." She laughs. "Yeah, my dad and I are really close... Always have been. It's nice, most of the time..." She laughs again, and then suddenly freezes up at the idea of alcohol, even wine. "Um... Yeah, if you think we should. I've never... had wine before." She blushes again, and even more so when Katie asks her when her last boyfriend was. "Um... Never." She forces a smile, trying to seem like it's a not big deal, when it's really kind of depressing that a twenty-four year old girl has never even kissed a guy before.

"Oh, you don't own me anything, Katie," Evangeline insists, shaking her head and her hands. "It's enough that you're going to listen to it, you definitely don't need to pay for me." She beams at her.

Evangeline smiles. Her father was a great guy, just very very VERY protective over her. That doesn't mean that he was a bad guy... just a little annoying to her sometimes. She nods. "Alright... I could have a glass. That sounds... great," She forces another smile, still trying to convince herself that drinking was going to be okay. Her father was never okay with drinking. Drinking leads to drugs, and drugs lead to.... Her mother had died of a heroin overdose. That was the progression she had always thought it went... "I've never drank before. It's always been kind of... taboo in my family." She gives a little laugh.

She wanted to tell Katie the truth about why she had never had a boyfriend before; that her father would never let her keep one. In high school, he kept her from the opposite sex as much as he could. She was homeschooled, never allowed to do sports or any sort of activities outside of her studies and practicing her music. And now that she was older, he kept her away from them in my complicated ways. Her schedule was constantly full. She was constantly writing, constantly practicing, constantly working on every aspect of her performance because of him... "I've just never met a really good guy before," She tells Katie with a smile and a shrug, not sure how else she could explain that.

Evangeline gasps, almost not able to breathe when Katie offers for Evangeline to play with her. "Y-yes! That would be amazing! Thank you!" She says back, immediately thinking that she needed to call her father and tell him what Katie Coyle just offered to her.

Evangeline smiles at how sweet Katie was being to her. "Alright..." She says, now excited that she was going to be drinking for the first time, even if it was just wine. She hesitates when Katie asks her why she doesn't drink, wondering if she really should answer. "My... mom. My mom died and my father blamed alcohol for the beginning of it, so I was always told that drinking was bad," She explains, hoping that that shallow explanation of what happened would be enough.

She gasps at the idea of dating one of Hayden Merjos' friends. "That would be... really really awesome..." She says excitedly, immediately thinking of ways to date somebody and keep it from her father. Maybe if the guy was famous, her father wouldn't care so much because it would help her career... Even if he wasn't famous, he'd be friends with Hayden Merjos, which made her connected to somebody famous... This could actually all work out. She smiles. "Thank you so much. For all of this. I can't believe I just met you today, and you're doing all of this for me. You have to be one of the nicest, coolest people on earth."

She smiles, thinking about how much fun it would be to get to hang out with Katie Coyle every day if they were on tour together. "Still... thank you... again," She says back. "This means a lot to me. A lot to me and my father."
