\"What did Ephraim want?\" Everett casually took her hand in his as they walked.
Dorothy gave a light laugh, \"Nothing much, just mentioned that the second trial for the case might be delayed.\"
She didn't want to burden Everett further; he already had enough on his plate.
\"The reason?\"
\"I'm not sure.\"
Everett's eyes flickered briefly but he didn't comment further. \"Let's go back for dinner.\"
In the restaurant's private dining room, Jeffrey was being particularly attentive to Karen. He kept asking if she wanted to try this dish or that, if she was too cold or too hot. Even Everett frowned at the sight.
Dorothy quietly shared the incident from the car ride with him, which finally brought a smile to Everett's lips.
\"Jeffrey liking Heather and not even telling me about it.\"\n
He might have played matchmaker for them, had he known.
\"After all, I never had any romantic interest in Heather from the start.\"
\"And what did Jeffrey say? Knowing well that Heather has had eyes only for you.\"
Everett looked at her, \"Are you jealous?\"
\"Not at all. But I didn't expect Heather to be so deeply in love with you.\"
Honestly, after getting out of prison, Dorothy felt... as if she had indeed stolen Heather's love.
\"What if I wasn't here...\"
She squinted her eyes and smiled, \"I just think she's pitiable. When people are about to die, it feels like suddenly you can forgive them for anything.\"
Dorothy didn't consider herself a saint or particularly compassionate, but... maybe it was the blood relation with Heather that made her want to help fulfill Heather's last wish.
\"You might forgive, but I can't.\"
Everett was more rational.
\"Why? Do you hate Heather?\"
\"What do you think? If it weren't for her meddling, I... wouldn't have lost you for four years.\"
All those days and nights, he had endured alone. Including now, with his own mother getting involved, wasn't it all Heather's fault? Without her, none of this would have happened.

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....
