Ken remained silent.
Though he knew that Dorothy would never take Everett to the graveyard.
...
The drive back to Bay Residence was charged with a heavy silence.
Apart from Abigail and Langston's playful giggles, Dorothy and Everett hardly exchanged a word.
Everett had not only done thorough preparation for the memorial but had also purchased a prime plot in the cemetery, hoping that if Dorothy agreed, they could relocate her mother's resting place there.
However, it was clear she wasn't even willing to let him go with her.
As the car came to a halt in front of Bay Residence, Everett stepped out first, cradling Abigail in his arms, with Langston and Dorothy trailing behind.
Dorothy wanted to strike up a conversation with Everett, but seeing him not even turning back, she swallowed the words back.
He took the kids to the play castle, leaving her alone in the living room.
Dorothy knew Everett wasn't a man without temper. He was simply holding back, not wanting to lash out at her.
Sitting on the couch, she glanced at the calendar on her phone.
A month had flown by quickly, and now only half of it was left. Dorothy didn't want to squander these last precious moments with him on arguments or hold a grudge until dawn.
So she changed into her loungewear and went to the kitchen to cook a few simple dishes.
When Everett emerged, he found Dorothy sitting at the dining table with a welcoming smile.
In that instant, all the gloom and irritation seemed to dissipate.
He was utterly defenseless against Dorothy.
"It's been a while since I've cooked. Care to taste?" Dorothy offered him a set of cutlery.
