She really wanted to swear off booze for life, but deep down, Dorothy knew that was a no-go. In her line of work, where deals were sealed with a toast rather than a handshake, going teetotal was career suicide.
Rubbing her eyes, Dorothy slowly came to the realization that she wasn't in Karen's apartment at all!
It took a few seconds of squinting through the dim light, filtered by heavy drapes, to realize that the room was oddly familiar, yet she couldn't recall ever staying there.
Sitting up in a daze, she suddenly sprang to her feet—only to find her legs jelly-soft and unable to support her.
Thud.
Dorothy hit the carpet with a graceless flop.
As an adult with, ahem, certain experiences, she was utterly aware of what had transpired the night before. The aching back, the sore legs, and that burning sting somewhere more intimate—if she didn't know any better, she'd be a fool.
Her face drained of color in an instant. The thought was too much to bear.
Thankfully, the sound of her collapse had quickly brought Everett striding into the room through the ajar door.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Dorothy craned her neck to look at him, her face a tapestry of colors and her expression a mess of emotions.
She narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing him until she was sure it was indeed Everett standing there.
Oh...
So it was also Everett last night?
As she gawked at him like a goofy, Everett couldn't pretend he didn't feel a twinge of guilt. Clearing his throat, he bent down to scoop her off the carpet and set her back on the bed.
"You had a bit too much at the team gathering. I happened to be passing by and..."
"And you brought me back to Bay Residence?" Dorothy finished for him.
No wonder the place seemed familiar—it was Bay Residence.
