This woman had the guts to tap his shoulder-a bold move, for sure.
"Hi there, I'm Minnie. Maybe you and I could get to know each other better?" Minnie's words were coy, but her actions were anything but. She reached out her hand to Walter with no hesitation.

Walter did not like that one bit.
He had much experience with women, but he never met a woman who looked at him like he was her next catch. He was not like the others. This kind of move did not intrigue him-it turned him off.
Ignoring Minnie's outstretched hand, Walter coolly fished out a cigarette from his pocket, struck a match with a flick of his wrist, and took a leisurely puff. He then nonchalantly said, "Sorry, but you don't interest me. And things that don't catch my fancy... They get tossed asi The cigarette, still burning, was casually dropped from his fingertips.
It hit the ground like a piece of unwanted trash, and with no second thought, he snuffed it out with the sole of his shoe.
Walter took one last look at Minnie and then walked away without a second glance. Minnie stood still, not bothering to follow him.
Despite being turned down, a smile of unexpected delight crept onto her face. "I knew it, Walt" she whispered to herself, "you still care about me. I was right about you!" Julia smiled under the facade of Minnie.

Walter, having left Minnie behind, quickly spotted Evangeline in the back garden. The autumn grass was a sea of gold, and there was Evangeline, all dolled up and sitting dolled on a swing looking soft and lovely in the glow of the garden lights. Before Walter could even feel a flutter in his heart, he spotted a figure that spoiled the mood. From where he stood, he could see Alex and Evangeline sitting close together, shoulder to shoulder. "Alex, that's just too much!" Walter's temper flared, his fists clenched as he marched over with determined strides. He did not give the pair a second to react. With a voice sharp as ice, Walter snapped at Alex, "Evangeline and I are still married, Alex. You'd better remember that."
Evangeline was baffled by his accusation. She hopped off the m swing, her eyes shooting daggers at Walter. "What are you even talking about, Walter? Alex and I were just talking. What's the big deal?" Was he trying to play the hero in s? Who did he think he was impressing?
It hit Walter then that Evangeline and Alex had kept their distance, and he had just misread the situation m because of the angle. Given what he knew about Evangeline's feelings toward Alex, he did not feel too bad about his outburst. Skipping the explanations, he grabbed Evangeline's wrist and told Alex.
