NovelEnglishDorothy always admired Jeffrey and Karen's go-getter attitude.
Amid the whirlwind of wedding preparations, they had even managed to squeeze in a vacation plan! That must be one of the perks of being flush with cash, she mused.
Jeffrey had even gone so far as to bypass Dorothy and give Austin a heads-up about taking a week off.
Austin just couldn’t object. He'd have to bite the bullet and grant the vacation even if it lasted a month, let alone a week's off.
Early in the morning, Karen had roped everyone into a WhatsApp group, whimsically renaming it "A Family Affair." Langston was the first to voice his opinion.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLangston: [What in the world is this name, Aunt Karen? You might as well have left it alone.] Karen: [What do you know, kiddo? Being super rustic is the very way to show hipster!] Dorothy woke up to find the group chat had exploded with 99+ messages, mostly banter between Langston and Karen.
On her second day staying over at the Bay Residence guest room, she returned to her own apartment, but only after the kids were tucked into bed. It was awkward living there after all.
Karen: [Dorothy, you up? Are we meeting at the airport, or should we meet somewhere else first? Are you with Everett?] Dorothy replied while brushing her teeth.
[Yep, I'm up. Everett and | aren't together.] Karen: [I'll have Jeffrey call Everett then!] Setting her phone aside, Dorothy applied a light touch of makeup, packed a few clothes into her suitcase, and by the time she checked her phone again, there was a private message from Karen on WhatsApp.
Karen: [Dorothy, come downstairs when you're ready! Everett's been waiting for a while!] Everett was downstairs? She rushed to the window and indeed saw Everett's car parked below. She couldn't spot him, so he might have been waiting inside.
Why hadn't he told her he was coming? She'd been dawdling just then.
She quickly grabbed her suitcase, checked the gas and electricity, and as soon as she opened the apartment door, there he was.
"Why didn't you knock?" Everett wasn't in the car at all. He was standing right at the door. He reached out and took the suitcase from her hands in one smooth motion, "I just got here." Dorothy had her doubts about the truth of that statement.
Everett seemed pretty good at waiting for people.
She remembered several instances of him just standing there, waiting. Dorothy, on the other hand, wasn't too fond of waiting, especially when she didn't know when the other person would show up. It made her so anxious.
Downstairs, Everett didn't bother with the trunk. He simply put Dorothy's luggage in the back seat.
That left her no choice but to ride shotgun.

It was only at a lengthy red light that Everett suddenly spoke up.
