Eve jumped at the sound of the ruckus coming from the main parlor. She followed King out of the small office, though her pace was decidedly more of a saunter than it was an explosion. The vision that greeted them was beyond priceless. Evie had to bite the inside of her cheek to keep from laughing aloud. She fought the smug smirk that tugged at the corner of her lips and held her breath so to keep from showing any sign of amusement. And it was amusing.<br/><br/>Her eyes registered innocence as King turned on Lola, accusing her of poisoning his man. It was funny just how wrong one man could be, first with his assumption that Lola’s would be easy pickings, and now with the assumption that Lola had anything to do with the alleged poisoning.<br/><br/>A cold sweat took hold of the blonde as her brown eyes tracked King’s hand and watched as his fingers circled the handle of his gun. Did she go too far with the poisoning? Cookie had tried to warn her, and in the end the application of the red squill had been an accident. Eve had been holding the bottle when Lola entered the kitchen causing the bottle to slip from Eve’s hands. Its contents had spilled onto the floor and table. How was she supposed to know if it had breached the breakfast as well?<br/><br/>Not that she regretted it. Not for one minute.<br/><br/>The breath she hadn’t realized she had been holding released on a soft sigh as Eve unconsciously relaxed her once tense shoulders and watched as King turned away from Lola and barked his orders to his men. For a moment Eve’s eyes locked with the mute man. She would not back down or show fear, hers was an expression worthy of the best poker players in Silver City. She’d been playing there game for many years now and had become an excellent actress.<br/><br/>However, she couldn’t resist blowing the ill Sheriff an air kiss.<br/><br/>As king addressed the girls of the salon Eve took an obvious step towards Lola, signalling her loyalty to her friend. Her brown eyes narrowed in the direction of Abby. Evie had always distrusted the girl, but now it would seem she had even more reason to. Maybe now Lola would throw the tramp out onto her backside with nothing more than the tatty dress she had on!<br/><br/>Eve was not at all surprised to hear Lola’s orders barked out with precision, and so the cool blonde pushed away from the wall she had been leaning against and moved smoothly into the office once again. She paused only long enough to watch her friend pace before moving to the seat in which King had once occupied, and quietly waited.<br/>
