Everett walked back into the living room, only to find Dorothy waiting for him on the couch.
She hadn't entered earlier, not wanting to interrupt his precious moments with the kids.
"Are they asleep?"
Dorothy smiled and stood up.
"Not yet, but soon," Everett's voice wasn't exactly warm, but it was less icy than before.
Dorothy followed him silently, her heart filled with quiet anticipation.
However, Everett broke the silence.
"I'll sleep in the guest room."
"…"
"I've been coming home late, I don't want to disturb your sleep."
He had made an excuse, at least sparing Dorothy some embarrassment.
But the message was the same: he wanted a separation.
Dorothy didn't necessarily want to share a bed for any particular reason; she just felt…
Like sleeping together meant their hearts were also together.
Separation would mean drifting into an emotional winter.
She had just reached a stable place with Everett, and she wasn't ready for them to grow cold.
"How could you disturb me? It's not a problem, I'm not busy with anything anyway." Dorothy stepped over her own pride to make her case.
If this had been in the past, she would have never uttered such words.
She would have overthought everything, worried that Everett might see her as too forward, and her pride wouldn't allow her to beg a man not to separate.
But now, Dorothy didn't care about any of that.
She would even cling to Everett's sleeve if it meant he would stay; she was willing to do anything.
"Aren't you busy with work?"
"Work stuff, I can handle it from the office, doesn't take up much time at home," Dorothy brushed off his question with a smile. "Everett, why don't you stay in the master bedroom? Please?"
She reached out her hand, but Everett dodged it quickly.
