Despite all the material comforts that man had showered on her and her mother, he also ushered in their darkest days. Heather would have rather her father be a garbage collector, a security guard, or even a homeless man, rather than a scumbag like Maxton!
"It's been a while since I've heard from him too."
"Yeah."
After Heather's words, both women fell into a deep silence.
As the end of their meeting time approached, Heather suddenly said, "This is probably the last time we'll see each other, huh?"
"Unless something unexpected happens."
"Do you have a recent photo of Everett on your phone? I want to see him."
She knew asking Everett to visit her in prison was out of the question! But she still desperately wanted to see him.
Dorothy frowned slightly, showing this expression for the first time today. After a moment's hesitation, she pulled out her phone and scrolled to a candid photo she had taken of Everett at work.
Heather immediately leaned in, peering through the glass, looking at the photo over and over again.
"He's lost weight! Why hasn't he been eating properly? Dorothy, please make sure he eats! Everett's a workaholic, he forgets everything when he's busy!"
"Yeah."
"Don't just placate me! You... take good care of him."
After speaking, Heather lowered her head. As Dorothy was about to put her phone away, Heather spoke up again, tapping on the window, "Don't! Let me have one last look, just one more glance!"
That last glance, as if she wished to etch it into her memory forever.
