Dorothy cradled his face in her hands and leaned in for a kiss.
"Promise me, we'll forget the past. No more dwelling on it, no more talking about it. I believe everything that happened was just a process, a test of our love. And now that the test is over, we're still together. That's what truly matters."
Everett was just too caring.
His love was always tinged with a sense of owing more, and it showed.
But the burden was too heavy, and thinking too much wasn't what Dorothy wanted to see.
Holding her hand tightly, Everett finally cracked a smile and nodded lightly, "Okay, your wish is my command."
Just as Dorothy was about to embrace him, the doorbell rang out of the blue—
"Who could that be at this hour?"
Everett looked just as surprised, clearly not expecting anyone.
But before Dorothy could get up, he pulled her back, "Stay here, I'll check it out."
Concerned it might be Maxton stirring up trouble again, Everett went to answer the door.
And there stood Jeffrey and Karen!
"Surprise, huh? Hehe!" Jeffrey, holding Karen's hand with a big smile, stood at the doorstep, "You called me about how to make that lemonade recipe, it's my secret formula. I figured I'd better show you in person!"
Karen chuckled, "I was bored at home anyway, so I tagged along! Where's Dorothy?"
"In the master bedroom."
