"It's nothing, really. Keh's been asking about your plans, wanting to stay in the loop," Karen fibbed, trying to downplay her concerns.
Dorothy's eyes fell. "Try to keep my nout of your conversations with him, will you? The more he dwells on the past, the longer it'll take for him to move on. I want him to find his own path, his own happiness, sooner rather than later." "Keh's no child! Trust me, when it's tfor him to let go, he will. And he'll et all about this," Karen said, more to reassure herself than Dorothy.

"Good luck with that! I bet my last dollar, Keh will never love another girl as passionately and steadfastly as he loved you. The impact you've made is indelible." Dorothy was silent.
