"Breaking up was your idea, Everett, not mine!"
Her voice carried a mix of disbelief and hurt, as if she was suddenly the one in the wrong, the one who betrayed their love.
Silence.
"Do I need to remind you again? Everett, you fell for Quincy. It was you who walked away from us! When I was ready to trust you, you chose to let go!"
Tears streamed down Dorothy's cheeks, a dam burst after holding back for so long.
She had tried to remain composed, not wanting to show her suffering.
After all, Kenneth was starting a new chapter in his life; she couldn't intrude. And Karen, with her family and endless responsibilities, had her own life to worry about.
She didn't want to burden them with her pain.
Yet, why couldn't Everett just leave her be?
"I…"
Everett's lips parted slightly, a struggle visible in his eyes.
He wanted to tell Dorothy that he had never given up on her, that he'd rather give up his own life than let go of her. But because she meant so much, she couldn't be the one to suffer the fate his mother did, never leaving the emergency room.
"Did you hear me? If you understand, then let go of my hand. Find an excuse and leave with the kids," Dorothy looked away, unwilling to face him. "And in the future… stay away. If Abigail and Langston really miss you, then take them for a few days."
"I'm sorry… I shouldn't have asked."
"As long as you know."
"But since I've already apologized, I might as well go all in. Tell me, who are you meeting?"
It was late outside.
Who could Dorothy possibly be meeting?
She didn't respond, just frowned.
"I didn't say I had a meeting."
"Mmph! Mmph!"
When Dorothy bit him, Everett didn't flinch. The taste of blood mingled between them, but he didn't release her lips or her hands.
Forcefully, he invaded her mouth.
"Mmph!"
Dorothy fought desperately.
It was only when she noticed the redness in Everett's eyes that she hesitated, giving him the chance to deepen their kiss, passionately and fervently.
When the kiss ended, Dorothy's heart pounded erratically.
She wanted to question Everett's intentions, but the moisture in his eyes told a story of its own.
"Everett, what are you doing?"

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....
