"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.
