NovelEnglishThe silence in the car was thick enough to cut with a knife, and Dorothy felt a wave of awkwardness that made her skin crawl.
Usually, whenever Everett sensed her discomfort, he'd find a way to lighten the mood, but today, he didn't seem to have any intention of doing so.
It wasn't until they were almost at Bay Residence that he broke the silence again.
"Dorothy, should we maybe have a proper talk?" he asked.
He felt that they had never truly sat down to discuss their future or the whirlwind of events that had transpired between them.

Everett had thought he had lost the right to ask Dorothy for a heart-to-heart, but that night, the vulnerability and love in her eyes were unmistakable, and he wasn't blind.
These past few days, he could recall her trembling voice calling out his name with his eyes shut, and it was such torture.
Work in Liberty City had kept him busy, and a bout of illness left him too drained to think of much else besides getting the kids to bed and crashing himself.
But the moment he was back in the country, their fiery encounter had kindled a huge desire he couldn't quell.
"What about?" Dorothy asked, not looking at him but picking at her nails.
"About us." "Let's not talk right now," Dorothy rejected quickly. "At least | think we got nothing to talk about at this moment." Everett frowned; he turned the wheel, pulling the car over to the side of the road.
"I'm not just bringing up the fact that we slept together!" "I know." "Dorothy, we can't go on like this." "Everett," she sighed deeply, then spoke softly, "I want to wait until things have settled down before we talk, okay? Not now." He pursed his lips tightly, obviously understanding her point.
"Fine, you tell me when." It was just a matter of waiting. He, Everett, could wait.
"When my mom's situation is resolved, if you don't bring it up, | will." Everett seemed to have anticipated this response, his lips curling into a dry semblance of a smile. "Alright, I'll wait for you." He said.
Dorothy never did look at him, because the plan she held in her heart was known to no one and couldn't be detected by anyone! Everett was too sharp. If she let slip even the tiniest hint, he'd figure it out.
After picking up the kids and heading to the airport, Dorothy witnessed Karen wrapped around Jeffrey's neck, kissing him as if they couldn't bear to part.
