Dorothy didn't even glance back as she spoke, her posture rigid with resolve. "You keep saying you're nothing like Heather, calling her dumb, saying she's brainless. Sure, you're different, but not in the ways you think."
Quincy wanted to probe further, but Dorothy had already left the diner, leaving the words hanging in the air.
...
In the corner of the suburban house's living room, Jeffrey was backed into a corner, literally and figuratively.
Karen was interrogating him with a ferocity that left no room for warmth or humor in her eyes, her demeanor chilling.
"Spill the beans about you and Everett! I'm giving you one shot to come clean. If you lie to me, it's over between us!"
Jeffrey bit his lip, his handsome face twisted in discomfort. "Karen, this is Everett's mess! He confided in me because he trusts me! I can't just betray that trust. How am I supposed to face him after that?"
He knew all too well the effort Everett had put into this whole ordeal. If it all came crashing down because of him, Jeffrey couldn't bear the thought of facing Everett again.
"Fine, keep your secrets. I'll just take our daughter and leave."
As Karen turned to walk away, Jeffrey quickly grabbed her arm. "Come on! Why do you have to force my hand? You're my wife, Everett's like a brother to me. I haven't helped him with anything, just kept his secret. It'd be wrong to spill it now."
"This involves Dorothy! I have to know! If it weren't about her, I wouldn't even care to listen!"
"Listen to me, I swear, there's nothing in this situation that harms Dorothy!"
Karen saw the earnestness in Jeffrey's raised hand and decided to dig a little deeper. "So, Everett breaking up with Dorothy wasn't because he fell out of love, right?"

I don't agree with not letting him in. That just seems cruel and besides wasn't the whole point of getting pregnant again was for him to experience and travel the journey of pregnancy with her?...
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
