He drifted off to sleep, leaving her without the answers she sought. Yet, Dorothy harbored not a shred of anger or resentment towards Everett. All those years of solitary waiting, she had endured, well aware that the love they shared wouldn't just fade away with his mother's passing. With a little more time, a bit of cajoling on her part, things would be alright! After all, he had comforted her countless times before; now, it was her turn to offer the same solace.
Staying over at Bay Residence was an unexpected turn of events. Everett had planned to check in on the kids and her, then make his exit. Perhaps exhaustion took its toll, for once he lay down, sleep claimed him completely. The whirlwind of recent events had left Everett more sleep-deprived than Dorothy, but having her by his side that night, he finally found peace in slumber.
The next day, Everett awoke to a world bathed in sunlight. Seven in the morning. Already, the sounds of Abigail and Langston filled the air, a lively commotion underway.
"I told you Daddy came back last night! I saw him! And you didn't believe me, said I was dreaming!"
"Look! Look, those are Daddy's shoes!"
"Shh, keep it down! If Daddy hasn't come out yet, he must still be sleeping." Langston's voice carried a joy that was unmistakable. He always was the more observant one, even more so than his sister. Everett chose not to rise immediately, instead lying in bed a while longer to listen to the chatter outside. Who knew when he'd get another chance like this? He turned to Dorothy, who had recently fallen asleep. In the early hours, she had been watching over him, a fact Everett was acutely aware of. But what then? The softer his heart grew, the slower their story progressed!
First, he needed to ensure Dorothy's safety, to free her from Quincy's grasp. With his vulnerabilities shielded, Everett could move forward with ease. He couldn't afford to linger here; a visit to the funeral home awaited him today.
