Back in the day, merely whispering "Dorothy" was enough to get Everett and Kevin to jump. They'd treat Quincy's words like gospel, bending over backwards to cater to her whims.

But times have changed. Now, dropping Dorothy's name doesn't even get them to bat an eyelid. Is it any wonder Quincy's on edge?

"Let her wait," Everett declared, his voice dripping with strategy. This was a psychological game, a battle of wits. He intended to shake Quincy's confidence, to make her believe she was the one in control, not him. Given Quincy's tendency to second-guess everything, she'd definitely smell a rat otherwise.

From the moment Everett decided to bring Dorothy into the picture, he'd been plotting. And this was just the beginning.
