Everett knew his mother all too well—domineering and often unreasonable. So, even when tensions flared between the two women in his life, he was always inclined to side with Dorothy deep down in his heart.
He trusted that Dorothy wasn't the type to stir up trouble.
"Everett, you know it'll put you in quite a bind if we two clash, don’t you?" Dorothy said. Everett watched her smooth down his shirt, a playful smile on her lips.
"I don't want to put you in a tough spot, just like you wouldn't want to see me upset."
Everett caught her wandering hand, his eyes piercing with sincerity.
"As long as you don't leave, being in a bind doesn't matter to me."
All he wanted was for Dorothy to stay by his side.
She met his gaze with a smile, tactfully changing the subject. "Are we really going to leave all the food I cooked sitting in the dining room?"
"I'll carry you, and we can eat together."
"Sure."
...
Karen fell silent after leaving Kenneth's place.
Jeffrey could sense her gloominess, so he steered the car towards a shopping mall.
"What are we doing here?"
"Shopping, of course! I promised to make it up to you with new clothes, remember? Isn't it said that a new outfit can lift a woman's spirits?"
Karen raised an eyebrow at him. "You seem pretty experienced at this."
"I swear, I only financed shopping trips before. I’ve never actually accompanied any women to shop except you."
"You've been swearing to a lot of things lately."
"But I'm telling the truth, really!" Jeffrey moved closer, trying to take her hand.

I don't agree with not letting him in. That just seems cruel and besides wasn't the whole point of getting pregnant again was for him to experience and travel the journey of pregnancy with her?...
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
