"Okay!"
Dorothy half expected Everett to just say a quick hello and then hang up, but his face stayed on the screen.
She propped her phone on a stand, adjusted the angle, and kept her eyes glued to the display.
Soon, Everett used his key card to enter the hotel room, and the playful sounds of Abigail and Langston followed.
"Mommy wants to FaceTime with you guys."
On the other side of the call, Everett propped his phone on a table and then stepped out of the frame.
Abigail's face squeezed into view, waving at Dorothy. "Mommy! I miss you!"
Dorothy quickly responded. "Mommy misses you too!"
"Do you miss Langston?"
"Of course! I miss both of you!"
Abigail's big eyes blinked, and she continued, "Do you miss Daddy too?"
Dorothy paused for a moment before answering, "I miss him too."
Abigail giggled. "You gotta finish your work fast, Mommy, and come pick us up!"
"Okay, dear."
Dorothy nodded, her gaze falling on Langston, who was silent.
"Langston, why aren't you talking to Mommy?"
"I feel like something's off between you and Dad."
Langston raised an eyebrow, then seemed to look up at Everett. "You guys used to be so lovey-dovey, always sneaking kisses. Why's Daddy so far away during the call now?"
"Daddy's busy with work."
Dorothy didn't want to burden the kids with the news of their parents' separation. It wasn't good for their growth.
Besides, whatever beef she had with Everett's mother, she didn't want it to spill over to Everett.
"But Daddy's just sitting there, not working."
