"I'm just worried, you know? If you guys say something off, my dad's temper can be like a ticking time bomb."
So, he stayed close to the door, not venturing far.
Just in case they stirred up any trouble, he wanted to be there in a flash.
"Your dad, he pulled me aside to apologize."
Everett's handsome face froze, "Apologize?"
"Yeah." Dorothy nodded, "Maybe he felt awkward doing it in front of you, but he wanted to say sorry to me personally."
Clearly, this took Everett by surprise.
Dorothy wrapped her arms around him, "Your parents, they love you a lot."
Everett gently caressed her cheek, "Trust me, all the love you've missed out on, I'll make up for it."
She believed him, of course, she did.
"Will you two cut it out? We're all waiting to see the bride!"
Jeffrey, holding Karen's hand, walked over with a mock look of disgust at their sweetness.
Karen smacked his arm hard, "What's your problem? Look at Everett, saying such moving things! And you? What can you do?"
Jeffrey immediately raised his hands as if taking an oath, "Babe, trust me, all the love you've missed out on, I'll make up for it!"
"..."
Everett glared at him, "You looking for trouble?"
Jeffrey chuckled, "Come on! It's a day of joy; no need for violence."
"You've only done it once, right?" Karen raised an eyebrow, "Does Paige count too?"
Jeffrey turned pale at the mention!
"Hey, didn't we agree not to bring her up again? I meant, you've got another one on the way."
Dorothy couldn't help but laugh.
Everett wrapped his arm around her, "Do you like the wedding?"
"Of course, I love it!" She looked up at him and then walked over to pick the biggest, ripest strawberry, "But... you don't have to throw a big party for me anymore. From now on, I'm yours, officially."
No longer just the girl he had to work hard to get close to.
She was his wife, the mother of his child.

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....
