It simply couldn't be anyone else.
"Why?"
Dorothy gazed into his eyes, which were deep and clear and untainted by any falsehood. She knew he hadn't lied.
But why?
What about her was worth this?
"There's no why. I don't have an answer as well."
If he did, he wouldn't have been stuck and standing still for years.
Dorothy could feel that Everett wanted to throw the question back at her. But he didn't dare.
He was scared the answer wouldn't be the one he wanted.
The topic was too heavy; Dorothy didn't want to delve any deeper.
She looked down to find her phone and noticed an unread WhatsApp message.
It was from Karen.
Upon opening it, a photo of a guy popped up.
Everett, sitting beside her, caught a glimpse and immediately furrowed his brows, "What's she doing, sending you pictures of guys?"
Dorothy sighed, showing him the message thread on her phone, "Don't jump to conclusions, okay? She's asking if I think he's handsome. She's planning to go on a blind date with him."
"She's going on a blind date?"
"Yeah." Dorothy nodded, taking a closer look at the guy in the photo.
He was quite the looker, seemingly around Karen's age. Not drop-dead gorgeous, but definitely above average.
Dorothy always felt that the lack of progress in Karen's relationships was her fault.
Seeing her delete the photo, Everett let it be.
"So, if things go well for Karen, she might be getting married?"
"Who knows?" Dorothy typed away and spoke to him simultaneously, "You know her personality; she may have a shotgun wedding."
Everett's expression darkened slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Do you think there's a chance between Karen and Jeffrey?"
Dorothy stopped typing and looked up, "You know what kind of person Jeffrey is better than I do, right?"
Everett didn’t have a single word to say.
"Can he really settle down with Karen? I can tell he's interested in her, or he wouldn't keep bringing her up or have followed her back from abroad. But who can tell how long will his interest last?"

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....
