"Fine, you've got three days. Don't play any tricks on me when the time comes!"
The man was about to hang up.
Quincy felt a sting of injustice. Why were so many guys willing to bend over backwards for Dorothy?
This was ten million dollars, not just a thousand! And to hand that over without any guarantee, he must really be smitten with Dorothy.
"Wait a sec! Can you at least tell me your name?"
"Why do you wanna know?"
"No big reason, just curious. We've made a deal after all, knowing your name isn't too much to ask, right?"
The man was silent for a few seconds, and just when Quincy thought he wouldn't divulge his name, he suddenly spoke up.
"Lane."
"What?"
"I said, my name's Lane."
...
As night fell, Everett hadn't returned.
Usually, if he wasn't home by this hour and hadn't gotten in touch, it meant he was probably out playing some charade with Quincy.
Dorothy wasn't upset, more contemplative than anything.
Another person, like Heather, had to get hurt before realizing they'd loved the wrong person, before understanding Everett was unattainable.
He would always stay by her side.
Abigail and Langston had finished their homework and were now chattering about their day at school, their lively banter bringing the house to life.
"Mommy... I really don’t know anything!"
Dorothy smiled, "I'll give you a chance to come clean, don’t waste it."
Langston's eyes darted around before he spilled the beans, promising solemnly afterward, "Mommy, I swear I was forced into this by dad! I had no choice!"
Seeing her son's earnest expression, Dorothy couldn't help but smile.
"I didn't say I was mad, what are you afraid of?"
"You're really not mad?"
Dorothy nodded, "Not mad, don't worry."
She patted her son's head softly, saying gently, "I know your dad can get a little jealous sometimes, better than anyone."

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....
