Everett walked back into the living room, only to find Dorothy waiting for him on the couch.
She hadn't entered earlier, not wanting to interrupt his precious moments with the kids.
"Are they asleep?"
Dorothy smiled and stood up.
"Not yet, but soon," Everett's voice wasn't exactly warm, but it was less icy than before.
Dorothy followed him silently, her heart filled with quiet anticipation.
However, Everett broke the silence.
"I'll sleep in the guest room."
"I've been coming hlate, | don't want to disturb your sleep."
He had made an excuse, at least sparing Dorothy sembarrassment.
But the message was the same: he wanted a separation.
Dorothy didn't necessarily want to share a bed for any particular reason; she just felt...
Like sleeping together meant their hearts were also together.
Separation would mean drifting into an emotional winter.

"How could you disturb me? It's not a problem, I'm not busy with anything anyway." Dorothy stepped over her
own pride to make her case.

She would have overthought everything, worried that Everett might see her as too forward, and her pride
wouldn't allow her to beg a man not to separate.
But now, Dorothy didn't care about any of that.
She would even cling to Everett's sleeve if it meant he would stay; she was willing to do anything.
"Aren't you busy with work?"
"Work stuff, | can handle it from the office, doesn't take up much tat home," Dorothy brushed off his
question with a smile. "Everett, why don't you stay in the master bedroom? Please?" She reached out her hand,
but Everett dodged it quickly.
"No."

"I need speace right now, we'll talk about this later."

Everett was clearly taken aback by Dorothy's boldness.
This was beyond his expectations.
"You don't have to do this."
Truth be told, Dorothy's initiative had already started to sway him.

"Please, let's just try. One night won't mess up your sleep too much."
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as a yes."
Dorothy rushed past him into the guest room.
Behind her, he rubbed his temples, finding himself on the verge of a laugh.
