Staring at the disconnected call, Quincy was somewhat baffled.

Yet, at the same time, she felt her suspicions were increasingly justified! The more Everett sulked and scowled, the more Quincy was convinced that something real was going wrong between him and Dorothy, not just a show put on for her benefit.
