"If she's willing to tie the knot, Kenneth would make a good husband."
Karen nodded in agreement, "Yeah, Kenneth is a real sweetheart and attentive, too. My aunt used to say that once he's hitched, he'll be the kind of guy who'd be totally whipped."
Karen couldn't resist sneaking a glance at Dorothy for her reaction.
Dorothy shot a look right back at her, "Drop it, Karen. Stop trying to set me up with him."
"Well, I’m not!" Karen rubbed her baby bump, "Dorothy, this little rascal inside's been kicking up a storm and thus messing with my sleep. I'm a bit on edge because of that. Could you come over and keep me company?"
Dorothy knew what she was really asking. But she had more pressing things on her mind.
"Karen, you don't need to worry about me. I’m all grown up. Whatever I do, it's after careful thought. Right now, your priority is to have that baby safe and sound."
"Oh, come on, what could possibly happen to me? Jeffrey's got that doctor on call practically 24/7! Seriously, he's downstairs right now, ready to jump at a moment's notice."
Despite Karen's playful complaints, Dorothy could see that Jeffrey was looking after her really well.
That gave her some peace of mind.
Kenneth came back with breakfast, and for once, Dorothy didn't put up a fuss. She sat down and joined Karen for a bite.
As they were leaving, Dorothy stopped Kenneth, "Eyes are in front of us for a reason, Kenneth. You've got to look ahead. No sense in always looking back, right?"
Kenneth paused for a moment, then let out a resigned chuckle, "Yeah, you're right."
After sending them off, Dorothy headed to West Legal Services, pulled out a court verdict, and then made a beeline for the cemetery.
