Yes, [she agrees, and the word is hushed.] People you love.

[Both hands wrapped around her cuppa Evelyn takes a wary sip; the burn reminds her that she's still alive.]

But I...came to find company in someone else, I was so- so tired of being lonely.

[Tired enough that she felt a certain security in quiet flirting, in pleasant conversations over lunch, in appreciation for wit and intellect that she had not entertained in what felt like an age. When Evelyn speaks again it is airier, thoughtful as she looks outside, privately hating the snow.]
