Dorothy smoothed the worry lines creasing Everett's brow with a gentle touch.
"Mr. Lopez, you should know I'm not easily swayed. Did you really think a single rose would do the trick?" There was no point for him to be worried about those things!

"Everett, this isn't right, is it?" "What's not right with it? You're my girlfriend now, aren't you? You agreed to it." Everett may not have mastered Jeffrey's aggressive tactics in love, but he certainly had picked up a thing or two about being stubborn.
He had put his pride on the line, even calling in favors, so he was determined to make every bit count.
Dorothy was about to protest when she found herself swept up in Everett's arms.
"Don't worry, we're just going to sleep for a bit." Some things were better left for the night...
