"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."
