Jeffrey had made his grand declaration without ever consulting Karen, never even dropping her a hint while at home!
So the looks of sheer astonishment on Karen and Derek's faces were identical.
"I'm all in with Karen for life," Jeffrey proclaimed. "I won’t leave even if she's mad at me, yells or throws a shoe at me! And if she kicks me out, I'll just camp out on the doorstep until she cools off!"
Silence hung in the air.
Derek continued to watch his daughter.
"Dad, don't be mad. He... well, he's got heart."
"Let's talk upstairs." Finally, Derek conceded. He inhaled deeply and continued, "We don't want the whole neighborhood thinking the Millers are bullying their future son-in-law, do we?"

Whenever Dorothy had a spare moment during the day, she pondered over who sent the bouquet of roses.
But deep down, she felt the odds were on Everett. It was just like him to be so stubborn about admitting to such a gesture!
As the workday drew to a close, Dorothy waited for the office to clear out before she reluctantly picked up the roses and made her way downstairs.
Just as she was about to hail a cab, a sleek black Volkswagen pulled up beside her.

"Ms. Sanchez, didn't drive today, huh?"
"Yeah, parking's a nightmare."
"Let me give you a lift!" Austin was already out of the car, moving to help her with the flowers.
Dorothy shook her head so fast it could've spun off.
"No, no! Really. I can take a cab."
"Why the formality? We developed a bond at East Star Enterprises, remember?" Austin's tone was warm and friendly.
