GoodReadDorothy let out a deep sigh before suddenly asking, "Do you think Everett and I are completely done for?" Karen, caught off guard, stuttered, "Huh?" "I mean, from your perspective, do you see Everett andsplitting up for good? Not in a 'never speak again till we're old and gray' kind of way, but... just not in a romantic or marital relationship anymore." "Would he let that happen?" Karen instinctively countered. "Do you think Everett could stand that? I don't think so." "You think so too, don't you?" "Yeah." Karen paused for a moment before asking with a hint of confusion, "What's going on, exactly? Everett didn't break up with you, did he?" Dorothy smirked, "No, he said he needed to think things over. I'm just wondering... if his final decision might be to end things for good." "No way! He definitely won't do that." Even Karen was certain of that.
Dorothy frowned, her thoughts a tangled mess.
"Stop overthinking it. I get it, everyone goes a little crazy when they're upset. Happens toand Jeffrey all the time! But try to stay calm, and don't dwell on it too much! Everett will caround eventually, he always does, right?" Dorothy remained silent.

That didn't mean she was ready to drag Kenneth back into her .
After holding him back for so long, Dorothy couldn't bear the thought of involving Kenneth again.
"Don't worry, I won't mention it." "Thanks." "Poor, lovesick brother of mine," Karen sighed. "Really, he's got it bad for you. Maybe in another life, you'l give him a chance, eh? He just met you too late, that's all... His feelings for you aren't any less than Everett's." Dorothy felt helpless.
She wasn't in the mood to contemplate another lifetime.
"I just wish you'd stop bringingup around Kenneth. Let him move on and live a normal life." "I wish! But if he doesn't want to move on, what can we do?" After chatting away with Karen, Dorothy felt even less inclined to cry.
She couldn't describe how she felt at that moment.

"What's up?" "Well, there's a bit of a situation," • voice was nonchalant. "Did you hear about Jonathan wantingo marry Mr. Lopez a anla Dorothy frowned.
She never had a high opinion of Jonathan, and his attempts to marry Quincy off to Everett were nothing new.
"Why would I know about that?" "So, you haven't heard then?" Quincy paused for a few seconds before continuing, "You're quite sure then, that Mr. Lopez won't marry me, aren't you? Did he tell you himself?" hovels.net
