"Dorothy, you're skinny enough already," Everett teased, a playful smile tugging at his lips.
Dorothy couldn't help but laugh, covering her mouth as her eyes crinkled in amusement. "Well, I'm not dieting anymore. Remember you mentioned wanting another baby? I figured I should get all healthy and plump for that."
Everett's handsome face froze for a moment, then softened. "Yeah."
"This time, let's fill all the voids in your heart," Dorothy said, reaching out to hold his hand, feeling the warmth of his skin. "Everett, I love you."
Caught off guard, Everett stood frozen in the elevator for a few seconds before snapping back to reality. "Dorothy, what did you just say?"
"If you didn't hear it, never mind." Dorothy quickly turned her face away, her cheeks already burning.
Everett wasn't about to let her off the hook that easily. He physically turned her to face him. "Say it again."
"No, you heard me."
"If you don't say it now, you'll have to say it tonight in bed," Everett teased, a playful threat in his voice. "Either way, I'll make you say it."
Dorothy pushed at him playfully. "You can't bully me into it! You know I'm not as strong as you..."
"Then just say it, so it doesn't come to that."
"Not going to say it? Then let's head back to Bay Residence," he said, pretending to pull her away.
Dorothy quickly caved, "Stop! Okay, okay, I'll say it, isn't that enough?"
As she looked up, she saw the triumphant smile on Everett's face. He was just playing with her...
"I... I love you."
"That's not quite right," Everett corrected her, serious now. "It should be, 'I only love you.'"
"I might be getting married."
Her tweet exploded with likes and comments in no time. Being a doctor for years meant she had a wide circle from classmates, mentors, to former patients.
The comments ranged from "Congratulations!" to "Really?"
Among the responses, Quincy's eyes landed on Dorothy's profile. She had seen it.
Dorothy just liked it, no comment.
As Quincy read through the reactions, she suddenly found it all rather pointless and deleted the tweet.
("More updates tomorrow! *wink*)

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
