Dorothy had made herself clear - it was time for Everett to leave, but he just couldn't bring himself to walk away.
He didn't know when he'd get another chance to see her again.
"Abigail and Langston... they'll be back soon. Let me see them before I go."
"See them some other time. Today, I need to talk to them alone."
Dorothy wished for nothing more than to get Everett out of the house as soon as possible. If he stayed any longer, she feared she might not be able to let him go, might even beg him to stay...
If it weren't for Quincy standing between them, Dorothy wouldn't have agreed to the breakup so readily. She would have been just like Everett, pleading for him to reconsider.
But that was only if there was no third party involved.
Now that Everett had accepted Quincy into the equation, any action she took would just make her look like a begging fool in his eyes! She couldn't do it, nor did she want to.
"I can't even see the kids?"
"Oh, I forgot, this is your house. So, I'll leave. You stay and see the kids, and I'll come back after you're gone."
As Dorothy spoke, she moved to grab her phone and jacket. Everett quickly stepped forward, grabbing her wrist firmly.
"Have you had enough? Is this really what you want?"
"Yes!" Dorothy's emotions reached a breaking point. She wasn't a saint devoid of feelings! With everything that had happened so quickly, was it so wrong for her to feel something?
"Dorothy, please, calm down."
"Am I not calm? I think I'm being perfectly calm!" Dorothy tried to pull her hand from his grasp. But Everett's grip was too strong, leaving her no chance to break free. Despite her efforts, she couldn't escape his warmth. That warmth made her heart flutter, made it hard for her to let go.
