NovelEnglishHaving someone like Karen by Dorothy's side actually made Everett feel a bit more at ease. Dorothy was the type to keep her grievances bottled up, never willing to voice her troubles, which only made them worry more about her.

**It's fine, just don't pick a fight with Karen.** Everett, much like Dorothy, didn't want to drag their friends into their mess.
But Karen... how could she just let things lie? After Jeffrey practically dragged her home, Karen had been giving him the silent treatment, refusing to speak with him, and even skipped dinner. Jeffrey had knocked on the door multiple times, but she wouldn't even let him into their bedroom! "Honey? Can you please open the door? Let's talk this out." "I've got nothing to say to you! If you're siding with Everett, why don't you just move in with him and et you have a wife!" Jeffrey was at a loss, having just confirmed Everett wasn't upset, and now he had to soothe his wife, "Listen to me, please. Let them handle their own issues. I'm just trying to keep you out of the middle, okay?" Before he could finish, Karen suddenly flung the door open, startling Jeffrey.
"You're worried about Everett, and I'm worried about Dorothy being pushed around! It's clear tonow, none of you men are any good." "What? How is this my fault?" "You're always hanging out with Everett, how can it not be? You've been even more of a party animal than he ever was!" Karen rolled her eyes, "I've made up my mind. I'm taking the kids to my mom's for a few days to think things over between us." e on, don't do that." Jeffrey quickly grabbed her arm, lowering his voice, "I kept you out of it to protect us! Look, whatever Everett's doing, that's on him, not me!" "You're tellingEverett never mentioned anything about wanting to break up?!" Karen wasn't buying it. She even suspected Jeffrey knew all along but chose not to tell her.

Everett just mentioned he was feeling down, and I thought it was because his mom had passed away. It made sense he'd be upset. And after that, you saw I barely hung out with him." The last thing Jeffrey wanted was for Karen to leave. It wasn't just about being lonely; it was about losing control. If Karen left, she'd be even more unpredictable.
"Move, I'm going back to my mom's." Karen wasn't having any of his excuses and made to leave.
"Look at you! Why are you being like this? What does Dorothy's situation have to do with me?" "What?!" "You better not mess withright now." With Karen adamant about leaving, Jeffrey had no choice but to pull out all the stops.
