After dinner, knowing that Karen was overwhelmed by the stress of parenting, Jeffrey suggested they take a walk to clear her head. Dorothy, caught up with work matters, decided not to join them. Instead, she and Everett returned to their Bay Residence home. As they entered, Dorothy took Everett's coat and put it away. "Everett, I feel so blessed right now." "Is it because of meeting Heather?" Everett wrapped his arms around her from behind, gently caressing her cheek with his.

Everett, ever so perceptive, caught on immediately. He raised an eyebrow. "Just say it." "I... I think we should... maybe start trying for a baby sooner rather than later?"

et "I found a flaw in the antidote during my experiment. It can't completely neutralize the poison in Ms. Sanchez's system. It's not critical, but it'd be best if she cin for a check-up and a new prescription," the message read. Everett's grip on his phone tightened.
"Stay out of trouble," he texted back.
"I'm telling you the truth. If you don't believe me, fine, but don't say I didn't warn you if something goes wrong," Quincy replied.
