GoodRead"Keh has been hung up on her for years. There's no way he'd just let go that easily." Byte 7 was an easy catch because he was more enamored with Dorothy's looks than anything else, plus he fancied the idea of dating someone who could be like a sister to him. It wasn't about Dorothy herself.
But Keh, he's a different story. He's been waiting for Dorothy for years.
Let's put it this way...
If I hadn't made my move early, who knows? If Keh had made the first move, he might have been the one by Dorothy's side right now.

He was afraid he might end up making things worse and get an earful from Karen Miller.
"It's okay, I get it." How could Everett not understand the difficult position Jeffrey was in? Besides, strictly speaking.
Everett didn't really need to worry about any so-called rival, because Dorothy was never going to fall for anyone else. She was his and his alone.
But still...
Jealousy is a tricky thing to control.
"I'll keep an eye on Quincy for you, let you know if there's any progress. And if she reaches out to you, givea heads up so I can stop worrying." "Sure thing." After hanging up, Everett took a deep breath and stepped out of the bedroom.
In the kitchen, Dorothy was brewing scoffee.
Abigail and Langston were already lost in their own world of play.
"Done with your call?" "Yeah." "Want to talk about it?" Dorothy approached with two mugs of coffee, her voice soft and caring.

Seeing him look so agitated, a rare 1.ne sight on Everett's face, Dorothy couldn't help but go over and give his shoulders a gentle rub, hoping to ease his tension. en.kikistories But before she could continue, Everett grabbed her hand and pulled her into a hug.
"You don't have to do this." "I'm just trying to be a good wife and mother here!" "It'll make your hands sore." Everett was more concerned about her well-being than anything else.
Dorothy looked up and laughed, then raised her hand to smooth out the crease between his brows.
"You're not getting any younger, you know? Stop frowning so much, you'll get wrinkles. And that's not a good look." "You'd mind?" "Absolutely!" Dorothy burst into laughter, "After all, part of the reason I'm with you is for your good looks." Everett raised an eyebrow, "That's news to me." "Well, now you know. So, no more frowning." She stroked Everett's hand, "We need to take things one step at a time, deal with problems as theye. Fretting about it now won't make any difference. Better to keep a calm mind." en.kikistories "I find it hard to be calm right now." This situation was affecting Dorothy's well-being.
"...Is it Quincy? She's not cooperating anymore?" Everett pressed his lips together, his expression darkening, "She's gone off the radar, can't get in touch." Hearing this, Dorothy didn't mirror his serious and worried look. Instead, she smiled.
"Don't worry, maybe she's just caught up with something and can't.
