"I should tell Jeffrey first, at least he could cup with sadvice for us!"
"Let's not do that. If you tell Jeffrey, then Everett will find out," Dorothy didn't want Everett to worry.
Besides, the situation at hand wasn't something that could be easily resolved by simply sharing it with others.
Dorothy gently patted Karen on the shoulder to comfort her, then stepped aside to call Lane on her cell phone.
After a few rings, he picked up.
"Missalready, huh?" Lane's voice carried that familiar, rakishly charming tone, even in moments like these.

"Kenneth's here. He cooks for us."
That was exactly what Dorothy needed to hear!
