"I'm worried about your health..."

"Me? I'm fit as a fiddle! Look at me, being all good and even put work on hold. I did it all to ease your mind, and if you're still stressed, then it seems I've wasted my efforts," Dorothy feigned annoyance. "If you keep piling this pressure on yourself, I'm going back to work tomorrow! No matter what I do, you seem determined to weigh yourself down."

Everett pulled her into a tight embrace, holding her close.

"I'm terrified of losing you."

"Don't be scared. We'll always be together."

Dorothy gently stroked his back, "Life's got its ups and downs, right? I believe the man upstairs saw I'd end up with you, such a huge blessing, and worried others might find it unfair. So, he threw these challenges my way! I take them in stride."

Truth be told, whether there was a cure or not, Dorothy didn't fret over it as much as Everett did.
