He was truly a man who knew how to hold on to love.
But the more a person held onto it, the harder it was to let go.
Thankfully, he had moved on. He was married now. No matter if it was arranged or not, he had a family now.
Dorothy spotted a bench ahead. Feeling weary, she ambled over and sat down.
She pulled out her phone and checked her messages. There was a message from Lane and another from the driver she had met back in Everglow City.
[You made it to Havenbrook City yet?]
[Yeah, I'm here. Did you make it to Havenbrook City too? I brought the receipt with me. If you're available, we can meet in Havenbrook City, and I’ll hand it over.]
It took a while for him to reply.
[I didn’t make it to Havenbrook City.]
Dorothy wanted to text him back, but her eyes were bothering her from all the crying that she did earlier, and her contacts felt uncomfortable. She took them out, and her vision blurred, so she decided to send a voice note instead.
"Let me know when you're available to pick it up. Or I can mail it to you."
He responded quickly this time.
[Have you been crying?]
Dorothy paused, realizing her voice must have given it away.
"Yeah... I’m just dealing with some heartache."
[Did someone upset you?]
"No. I just got a little sentimental. Thanks for your concern."
Dorothy sent the message and waited for a bit, but there was no response. She pocketed her phone and continued walking.
Meanwhile, in the offices of the Lopez Corporation.
Everett rose from his desk and strode towards the exit.
