"I think now that we're broken up, there should be some boundaries."
Dorothy exhaled slowly, her voice soft, “Everett, next time you get sick, tell Kevin not to call me, okay?”
“…I didn’t know he contacted you. Sorry about that.”
“It’s okay, just give him the message.”
She glanced at her phone for the time.
Kevin hadn’t returned yet, probably taking longer than expected with picking up Abigail and Langston.
And with Quincy possibly showing up soon, Dorothy decided it was time to leave.
“You’re leaving?”
Everett picked up on her cue instantly.
“Yeah.” Dorothy stood up, “Take care of yourself. The doctor said it wasn’t serious, so it’s probably just exhaustion. Try to get some rest.”
She never imagined that one day she’d be having such an indifferent conversation with Everett.
Just… like any other acquaintance.
“Alright.”
Everett didn’t try to keep her there.
The longer she stayed, the harder it was for him to keep up the facade. He needed to exercise some restraint.
Dorothy took a few steps back, then opened the hospital room door.
Behind her, Everett suddenly spoke up.
“Today… I’m sorry.”
“You mean about kissing me?”
“Yeah.”
“It’s fine. I don’t have a boyfriend now, but if I did, it wouldn’t be okay.”
Everett’s face tightened as he watched her leave the room, then clenched his fists.
He wasn’t sure if Dorothy was saying this for his benefit or if she really was considering dating someone else! Either way, it truly hurt him.
…
If it weren’t for being stopped, she wouldn’t want to spend another moment talking to Quincy.
What a waste of breath.
“Ha, Ms. Sanchez, sometimes I really admire you! Inside you’re falling apart, but on the surface, you keep up the act. Is it fun for you?”
Quincy’s dislike for Dorothy and her apparent aloofness grew.
As if she didn’t care about anything!
Clearly, she was jealous, clearly upset about being dumped by Everett.
“Funny you should say that.” Dorothy snorted, “Wait until Everett dumps you, then you’ll get to experience it yourself.”
“That’s impossible! He’ll never break up with me. Everett can’t live without me.”
“…”
Quincy’s confidence was unshakable, without a hint of hesitation or insecurity.
That look in her eyes was exactly like how Dorothy felt before, convinced Everett would never leave 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....
