11 parts Complete MatureEve is a newly 18 year old girl living in small-town, heavily Baptist Louisiana in the year 2000. On her 18th birthday her parents' family friend Theo asks her to get to know him better. Only, he's 13 years older, and Eve already has eyes for John, a lonely but kind soon-to-be farmer. Eve takes her life into her own hands several times as she deals with pressure to appease Theo, the willing ignorance of her parents, the consequences of loving John, and a frightening life and death situation.
"I didn't say anything the entire ride over, or after they seated us. I just sat with my arms and legs crossed and looked out the window of the booth. Finally, Theo said, "I had to look out for you, you know?" My head snapped back toward him.
"How were you looking out for me?" I questioned bitterly.
"You'll see. That John Rollings is bad news, Evie." I'll see? Our waitress came to the table, and Theo ordered for me. A chef salad and a water.
"I was kind of hoping you wanted to apologize," I said challengingly. Theo didn't like that."
