Every time Kenneth saw the way Dorothy looked at Everett, it was like watching a live romantic movie-the kind of love that fills the room with its unspoken intensity. So, he knew it was time to step aside. Kenneth had lost all hope because he felt miracles just didn't happen in his life. Dorothy wouldn't leave Everett. He never stood a chance. But then, wasn't this the miracle he'd been cynically waiting for? And it was Everett who had made room for him, of all people.

"All this talk is pointless, Dorothy won't accept you," Everett's voice lost its previous edge, his words slow but filled with certainty. He was on guard against Kenneth. Mostly, he feared Karen playing matchmake or brewing some other scheme. He was wary of Kenneth, of Karen, but definitely not Dorothy. She had said in a fit of pique that if she ended up with Quincy, she'd go to Kenneth, but that was clearly said in anger. Everett could tell the difference.

"When you first pursued Dorothy, she didn't accept you either. You were relentless for years, and she eventually gave in. You chased her for over a decade, no problem, I can do it too, twenty or even thirty years! But you, you've already thrown in the towel."

"Kenneth, what do you know?!"

Kenneth just chuckled, "I know nothing, and I prefer it that way! Don't try to explain anything to me. Even if I listened, I wouldn't tell a soul!" He wasn't so generous as to help Dorothy wait for an Everett who might never turn back.

Kenneth's words hinted that he had pieced together some of the truth. He knew Everett's sudden decision to break up with Dorothy had other reasons behind it.
