"Is it because of Quincy?"
Karen went straight for the jugular.
She wasn't clueless, just straightforward. Lately, the only new addition to Everett's life seemed to be this
woman! And even Jeffrey had mentioned her.
"It's not about her."
Dorothy preferred to keep her personal issues under wraps, not keen on airing her dirty laundry for the world to
critique. She still hoped to find a way to mend things with Everett.

It might make reconciliation harder, with Everett too proud to make amends.
"Then what's it about? His mom passing away?"
"Yeah, he's just been in a bad mood, that's all. Give it stime, and he'll be fine. You don't need to worry about
it."
"If I don't look after you, who will?" Karen's voice rose in pitch. "Dorothy, you're usually so vigilant! How come
you becso naive when it comes to love? Men, especially someone like Everett, they don't just get upset for

Dorothy quickly interjected, "No! Don't ask Jeffrey. | don't want Everett to think we're making a big deal out of a
small fight."
If it weren't for Karen's probing, she wouldn't have mentioned it at all.
"And when were you planning to ask? Wait until Quincy steals your man?"

Maybe Everett's just listening
to his dad."
Dorothy hadn't considered this angle before.
She thought it was just Everett grieving his mother's passing, and that tmight heal their issues.
But... Karen's words sowed seeds of doubt.
Everett's mother's death was indeed a catalyst, and Dorothy's absence gave Quincy an opportunity.
Especially since Dorothy had caught a whiff of Quincy's perfon Everett.
The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. "Karen, Everett's clothes..."
Dorothy stopped herself midway.
No.
Karen was too impulsive.
If she found out, there was bound to be a scene.
