Everett grabbed a pair of cozy slippers for Jeffrey as soon as he stepped in, and with a tone mixed with seriousness and curiosity, he asked, "So, what goes into making that ginger ale remedy? I can send Kevin to pick up whatever we need, and you could teach me." It was clear he was here to learn. After all, if it meant he could whip up something to soothe Dorothy's morning sickness, he was all in.

Following Jeffrey into the kitchen, Everett was eager to see the ingredients, thinking it wise to stock up on whatever was needed. With no clear end to Dorothy's morning sickness in sight, if this ginger ale remedy worked, he'd have to make sure they always had some on hand.
