Dorothy remembered the last time she heard Everett speak with such tenderness; it was because Bella insisted on taking her boyfriend to the hospital.
Back then, his tone was just like it is now- gentle, affectionate, as if he wished he could drown her in his love.
Unfortunately, she hadn't believed in his declarations of love back then.
As for the second time, she couldn't even trust that he would betray his own kin.
"Everett, you wouldn’t want to know the truth."
"No, I do." Everett cradled her face as if holding a precious gem, his gaze resolute, "Dorothy, tell me."
He was tired of being pushed away whenever trouble brewed, of having to investigate on his own. He wanted to be Dorothy's rock, to have her confide in him, share her grievances, bitterness, and rage, and then face it all together.
As Dorothy's mind raced through countless possibilities, she suddenly snapped back to reality and shoved Everett hard.
"The truth is I despise you, and I despise your entire family, I want you to stay away from me! I've fallen for Kenneth and…"
Her words were cut off as Everett's kiss swallowed the rest of her sentence.
But this kiss wasn't as fierce as the last.
Once Everett breached her defenses, his tongue began to gently draw out the sweetness of her, carefully tracing every contour of her mouth.
Today's Everett was extraordinarily off-kilter. Dorothy didn't know what he had gone through.
After a few futile attempts to break free, she slapped Everett across the face.
A red mark instantly appeared on his handsome cheek.
"Have you lost your mind?!"
"Yes, I've gone mad." Even he didn't understand what he was doing.
