When Everett looked at Dorothy again, his eyes were filled with seriousness and remorse.

"I keep thinking about those four years... how desperate you must have felt, how you managed to get through each day and night all on your own."

Carrying the weight of raising two kids, along with the hatred from her mother.

Everett hesitated before asking.
