Dorothy bit her lip, remaining silent as they leaned into each other, listening to the rhythm of their heartbeats.
She was surprisingly starting to feel drowsy.
Before drifting off, Dorothy mumbled, “When it comes to being stubborn, nobody beats you.”
Everett just chuckled, his hand softly stroking her hair, her back.
To others, he might come off as tough and temperamental.
But with Dorothy, all that was left was tenderness.
As time ticked by, Everett maintained his posture, enduring the pain from his wounds and the ache in his back, all without moving, until he heard Dorothy's steady breathing.
He slowly stood up from the bed, stretching his stiff back, and walked out of the room.
"Seal off the hotel rooftop completely. No one gets in or out."
...
Karen found out about Everett's return through Jeffrey's phone.
"Why did you keep it from me?"
"I didn’t! You never asked, so I didn’t mention it." Jeffrey, hesitant to bring up the fact that Dorothy was considering a dramatic end with Amanda, naturally couldn't mention Everett's injury either, so he didn’t even bring up Everett’s return.
Keeping the baby was a big deal for Karen. Despite her casual dismissals, saying this and that were fine, she cared deeply! Now, she was treading carefully, avoiding going out unless absolutely necessary.
"Forget it, I don’t really want to know about his business anyway," Karen waved it off. "I’m planning to find out the baby’s gender at today’s check-up. We could have found out last time!"
Jeffrey frowned slightly. "Why? It’d be more exciting to find out at birth."

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....
