When Everett heard what was said, he visibly paused, a moment of silence hanging between them.
Dorothy was about to speak when he cut her off.
“Dorothy.”
“I’m here.”
“Did you have the kid call me?”
Confused by Everett’s question, Dorothy started to explain, “It was Abigail who said she—”
“Have you had enough?” Everett interrupted her sharply, “You know my mom just passed, and all I've been doing is either being at the office or the funeral home, and you still have Abigail call me? What are you trying to pull?”
“…”
“Dorothy, can’t I even spend time mourning my mother?”
“That’s not what I meant!”
“Then what did you mean?”
Dorothy was taken aback by his interpretation, but before she could explain, he wouldn’t listen.
“Everett, please, calm down. I know you’re upset, and I’m not feeling any joy or happiness over this either! You don’t want to see me, and I’ve kept my distance. This was really just Abigail saying she missed you.”
“Whatever, I don’t have time for this.”
With that, Everett hung up.
His change of tone felt foreign to Dorothy, something she had never experienced with him before.
Abigail was obviously more confused, standing still for a long moment before bursting into tears.
“Mommy! Did daddy get mad? Did Abigail do something wrong? Does daddy not want me anymore?”
Dorothy quickly embraced her, “No, sweetie, that’s not it! Daddy’s just been in a bad mood lately, remember what mommy told you? Now, stop crying and go play with your brother, he’s waiting for you.”
