Everett's voice was laced with urgency, his explanations jumping from one topic to another without much logic. It was clear he was panicking.

Dorothy almost thought it was some kind of emergency!

"I get it, you know."

"You're not upset?"

She sighed, "Of course not. I just thought Quincy showing up to taunt was funny, so I sent you the picture."

"Not at all, really." After Dorothy said this, she found it somewhat amusing and chuckled, "My not being jealous is because I trust you, not because I don't care about you!"

Everett was on edge, terrified of detecting even the slightest hint that Dorothy didn't love him enough.

Dorothy had no choice but to tread lightly.
