Watching his body inching closer, Dorothy took a step back as if waking from a trance.

"Everett, we're over."

It was as if the reality of their situation had just dawned on him too, his handsome face unreadable.

"Please leave my house now," Dorothy's voice turned icy, her back to him. "And don't come back ever again."

"If I leave, Abigail and Langston will be upset."

Everett had worked hard to be welcomed into this home, knowing well that leaving now might mean he'd never be allowed back.

"So, what, you plan to stay here forever?"

"I'll leave once they've gone to bed," Everett tried to sound like he was only concerned for the kids. "Besides, I didn't drive here. Kevin dropped me off, and he's swamped right now. He'll come get me once he's free."

Dorothy turned to glance at him.
