My past--Evelyn's history, part two

Without my friends, I never would have survived without Silas. They pushed me to get myself out of bed every day, to meet new people. They let me cry on their shoulders, and weren't afraid to tell me that I had made mistakes and I had to deal with the repercussions of them. I forced myself to keep busy. With my stronger powers, I stretched my limits. I could purge my energy into objects, thus creating charms that were just as dynamic as if I were casting them that second. I could call upon the ley lines and teleport anyone, from anywhere. I knew that these abilities could help many, so I decided I would open my very own shop.

The months I spent getting over Silas, I spent in my backyard, invoking charms. I built inventory, I thought of new ways to make life easier, for humans and supes. I kept busy. I went to bed exhausted every night, trying to sleep dreamless nights.

Soon I realized I needed a business partner. There was no way I could keep it afloat on my own, and each time I attempted a healing charm, it failed, or was weak. I called my best friend, Memphis, who went to school with me up north, in hopes she'd be able to move in with me. Thankfully, cold weather was not in her cards, and a southern change seemed gladly warranted. We got the ball rolling quickly- opening our shop in the French Quarter in New Orleans. Memphis owning Healing Rains, attached to my store Southern Charms by Evelyn.

Having Memphis live with me was just like old times. I needed my best friend with me. I needed her to tell me what was necessary- That life had to move on. Memphis was always my rock, and I don't know what I'd do without her these last few months.

So now Evelyn is finally back to Evelyn-- for the most part, man free. Which brings me to Severus. Finally, a man in my life who is intriguing, sexy and interested in me- even if it's just for the sex. He isn't ready for commitment, or at least, not with me, but I'm greatly enjoying the time I have with him now. It feels nice to be wanted, though it is superficial. Yes, he is a demon, but in the life I've lived, I've learned that what we are does not define who we are. Severus is a good man, and I am going to have to hold the clamps on my heart down with this one... I think he would be capable of breaking it.
