Dorothy was lost in thought, the silence stretching on. To be more precise, she was at a loss for words.
In Everett's presence, she always felt an overwhelming gratitude, unsure of how she could possibly repay him for all he's done...
Over the phone, sensing his wife's turmoil, he chuckled softly, "I'll be home soon. Wait for me, will you?"
"Yeah, I will."
After hanging up, Dorothy gently caressed her daughter's tiny feet, her eyes misty with emotion as she smiled.
"Mama is the luckiest person in the world, don't you think?"
...
The day they moved back into Bay Residence was gloriously sunny.
Just the sight of the weather lifted Dorothy's spirits!
The place had been ready for a while, but Everett had delayed moving in, concerned about the safety of their baby.
As their belongings were gradually moved in, Dorothy stood by Everett, a constant smile on her lips.
"We're finally back."
"Yes." He tenderly ruffled her hair. "The lady of Bay Residence."
Her laughter bubbled up, feigning annoyance, "Someone wanted to sell this place before, remember?"
"How could I part with it after you've lived here?"
"Ah? I'm curious, what if..."
Before she could finish, Everett swiftly interjected, "No what ifs. Only you can be the lady of this house. I would never sell it, even if you never forgave my mother. No other woman would live here."
He had given Dorothy all the answers she needed.
She paused, then reached out to intertwine her fingers with his.
"Let's go home!"
"Okay."
They walked back into Bay Residence together.
The original parts of the house hadn't changed, only expanded by an additional building, connecting the two.
Dorothy touched the hallway cabinet, the dining room chairs, each object familiar and comforting.
"Let's check out the master bedroom."
Everett, with an arm around her shoulder, raised an eyebrow.
"Okay."
I'm Everett, your desk mate.
I like you.
This might be a confession, but it's just to let you know. I don't expect anything in return. I hope it doesn't bother you.
Let's study well and achieve our dreams for the future.】
Dorothy read the letter over and over, tears mingling with smiles.
After a moment, she looked up at Everett.
"Your love letter...doesn't really sound like one..."
He smirked, "I've never written one before. This took several drafts."
She walked over, playfully wrapping her arms around his waist, "So, Everett, have you achieved the future you envisioned?"
His breath warm on her, he whispered close to her ear.
"Dorothy, my envisioned future was with you. Have I achieved it?"
"Then congratulations, you got your wish."
"Yeah, a life well spent."

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....
