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."

Dorothy had no choice but to tread lightly.
