Jeffrey was fuming, his frustration reaching top as he scooped up Langston and marched over to confront Karen.
"Why are you bringing up Heather again?"
"It's the truth, why can't I mention it? I hate her, plain and simple. Do I have to lie just to be with you?"
"You—"
He always said he loved to party, but he could change that. He could cut ties with his high-society friends. After all, they often needed him more than he needed them. But every time Karen brought up Heather, Jeffrey just didn't know what to do.
It was something from the past, unchangeable.
He couldn't rewrite history even if he wanted to.
Langston watched the back-and-forth, sensing something more but not quite sure what it was. Venturing a guess, he asked, "Aunt Karen, you dislike Mr. Turner?"
Without hesitation, Karen nodded. "Absolutely, I hate him."
"But Mr. Turner is really handsome! Aunt Karen, you always daydream looking at those hunky celebrities' pictures, even saying you wish to marry one. Why would you dislike Mr. Turner? I think he's way more handsome than those movie stars."
Karen was at a loss for words.
Jeffrey chuckled through his nose, rubbing Langston's cheek, "That's my boy, Langston, knows quality when he sees it! Unlike someone..."
"He's handsome? Langston, have you not seen the scar on his face? That thing’s gonna stick for life!" Karen, never one to back down, retaliated, "Let me tell you a secret, that scar is a lifelong reminder from Mr. Turner’s beloved woman!"
"Are you kidding? So you're saying I should stay single forever until you decide to settle your score with me?"
"Fine by me. There's no shortage of women hoping I'll turn their way. I won't miss one."
"Hah, count me out of that."
Karen despised the idea of clinging onto a relationship that was clearly over, of being the woman who couldn't let go.
She was always the type to pick up and let go with ease. When she was with someone, she loved fiercely and purely, playing the part of the doting lover. But the moment she found out her ex was cheating, she packed up her things and left his place without a second thought. She cut off all contact with him. Even after he tried to win her back for months, she didn't budge an inch.
Once tainted, she had no room in her heart for spoiled affection.

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....
