Jeff shook his head, his expression a mix of frustration and disbelief.

"Fine! If you're going to keep secrets from me, I might as well go back to my mom's house."

"Wait, no!" He quickly pulled Karen back, his voice edged with panic.

"I'll tell you, okay? Quincy's got a thing for Everett. And Jonathan, he's hell-bent on getting her to join the Lopez family." Karen slapped her hands together, her eyes blazing.

"I knew it! But what about Everett? He's not going to go for it, right?"

Jeff looked like he was on the verge of tears. "I honestly don't know. Maybe you should talk to Everett?"

"Talk? I'll talk! If he dares to let Dorothy down, I swear I'll find her someone better, someone who'll make Everett eat his heart out. Let Abigail and Langston call some other guy dad!" Jeff swallowed hard, feeling a knot in his stomach.

In his heart, he knew that when it came to playing mind games, Karen was in a league of her own.

Everett might be able to handle a little turbulence with Dorothy, but the thought of some other guy stepping in...

The mere idea of Abigail and Langston calling someone else 'Dad' was enough to drive Everett to madness.
