The line went dead before Jeffrey could get another word out.
Karen rolled her eyes, "Stop mentioning Dorothy to Everett, will you? The way you talk is like she's some damsel in distress without a suitor in sight. There's a whole line of guys just waiting for a chance with her!" Men would be practically queuing up at her door with her face.
"I'm just thinking of giving Everett a nudge to reconsider, that's all. Don't you want Abigail and Langston to grow up in a home with both parents around?" "Of course, | do! But not by making Dorothy look pitiful! Besides, Everett's sold the Bay Residence; his intentions are clear as day. Give it a rest. Considering all the between those two, | reckon they're better off apart.

"And didn't you use to disapprove of Dorothy? What's with the matchmaking all of a sudden?" Karen pressed.
Jeffrey looked as if he was about to cry, "I just said she could be a bit harsh on Everett! It's always been Dorothy dumping him during these years. That's true, isn't it?"

"Besides, | don't know the details. | didn't pry." She felt Dorothy had enough on her plate without her digging for more.

This time she didn't speak a word, just stood silently and gazed at the photo of Bella on the tombstone from dawn until the late afternoon. It wasn't until the sun was about to set that Dorothy finally moved her numb legs.
"Dorothy? | knew I'd find you here!" Hearing the voice, Dorothy slowly lifted her head to meet Kenneth's worried gaze. "Karen called and said she couldn't find you anywhere. | guessed you'd be here." He explained.
Her voice was hoarse as she spoke, "I put my phone on silent." She felt the ringtone would disturb the sleeping souls in the cemetery.
