"Dorothy, I..."
"It's okay, I know what you're going to say." Dorothy couldn't even bear to let him finish his sentence, afraid to confront her own defeat. "Go get your clothes. I don't want to make this any harder for either of us."
...
Truth be told, Everett wasn't in dire need of any clothes.
He merely wanted to linger a bit longer, to gaze upon Dorothy once more, to take in the sight of what had been their home.
What the future held was uncertain; despite his sharp intellect, Everett couldn't predict the unforeseen.
All he wished was for Dorothy to remain healthy, to not leave him, not like his mother had... wheeled out of the emergency room.
Eventually, the clothes were packed, and Everett had no excuse to stay any longer.
He grabbed a few suits and made his way to the foyer.
"If you need anything, you can call me."
"There's nothing I need from you that you can give," Dorothy said, her back still turned to him, showing no signs of wanting him to stay.
Everett pressed his lips together, resigned to leave Bay Residence.
Back in his car, he didn't drive off immediately but continued to watch the living room of Bay Residence.
It wasn't hard to guess.
Dorothy must be crying by now.
No one knew her better than he did.
Suddenly, Everett's phone rang.
Pulling his gaze away, he saw it was Jonathan calling.
Jonathan might not understand all the details, but it was clear to him that the Caldwell family was using Quincy to manipulate Everett!
If the Lopez family could be so easily manipulated, he might as well have lived in vain.
After hanging up, Everett's gaze returned to where Dorothy was, even if he could only see a silhouette.
On his phone, Jeffrey had sent several messages.
"Everett, don't be mad at Karen! She didn't know any better and just blurted out stuff! I've calmed her down; she won't mess up your plans."
"Everett, please, don't hold it against Karen! I promise she won't cause more trouble."
Everett exhaled deeply, replying to give his friend some peace of mind, so he wouldn't worry over nothing.
"Karen is your wife and Dorothy's best friend; how could I possibly hold anything against her?"

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....
