"Oh, I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed, clutching her forehead, then looked up. "Everett?" "Everyone else leaves the meeting right away. What were you dawdling for?" Dorothy grimaced, embarrassed to admit she'd been checking her phone. She feared Everett would tease her.
"Just sorting sdocuments." "If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me." Everett reached for her hand.
But Dorothy dodged, "We're at the office!" "So?" "So?" she frowned, "People will see us holding hands!" No sooner had Dorothy spoken than Everett firmly clasped her hand in his.
